'Peek-A-Boo Slot Canyon'
Registration Information
For my May 2008
Slot Canyon
Digital Photography Workshop

In the heart of Utah's Red Rock country, unlock the essence and mystery of making pictures in some of the most varied accessible slot canyons - May 23, 24 & 25 near Escalante Utah.  May is a perfect time to explore these slot canyons with wonderful temperatures, great weather, and low flash flood conditions.

It is the flash floods that gather and gush against bare rock, the erosive power scours channels, ever widening to become canyons. Cracks and soft sections in the rock allow rushing water to cut more quickly down. Sometimes the channel cuts narrow passages, seemingly wide enough for only the water. Such narrow passages tempt the adventurous into the slot where light enters from high above to create wonderful blends of tone and color in a gentle glow. 

This slot canyon workshop will include Peek-a-Boo, Spooky, Dry Fork of Coyote Gulch Upper & Lower Narrows, and Brimstone Slot.  In addition, we will visit Calf Creek Falls for another unique canyon experience.

Limited class size allows personal instruction in a vacation atmosphere.  We will consider preparation, subject selection, visualization, composition for expression, special attention to close-up technique and useful equipment.  Available natural light will be emphasized.  We will also study the photographic process from a general naturalist perspective and environmental sensitivity.  Important to the photographic process is a sense of passion and fun.  Participants are encouraged to engage the subject for a personal exploration to reflect their emotional response in each image and enjoy the total experience of field photography.

Rocky Mountain Wildflowers
Digital Photography Workshop

High on the western front of the Rocky Mountains wildflower variety includes more than familiar species from the Rockies.  With the high desert mountains of the Great Basin close at hand influences from the Columbia Basin also at play, the Wasatch Mountains of northern Utah present wonderful opportunities for myriad wildflower opportunities.  Nestled in the mountains at 8000 to more than 11,000 feet elevation in the cool mountains at high summer - July 25, 26, & 27 we will enjoy outstanding wildflower photography in Northern Utah's Rocky Mountains.

While the main emphasis of the workshop will be the many aspects of photographing wildflowers, the setting we will be working in also offers splendid mountain views and possible wildlife encounters.  We will take advantage of early light in the meadows, mountain sides, woodlands and along streams.  Close-up and macro photography will be possible on many species and open fields of mixed and single species will be available for variety in practicing technique.

My wildflower workshop includes working in Albion Basin, along Little Cottonwood Creek, scree slopes of Hidden Peak, Gad Valley, and adjacent areas of the high Wasatch Mountains in Little Cottonwood Canyon above Salt Lake City, Utah.

Light and Reflections
Digital Photography Workshop

In this amazingly photogenic canyon, the mystery and magic of the colorful canyon and clear, calm stream are perfect for making exceptional images - October 10, 11 & 12 in North Central Arizona

Southwest of Flagstaff, and north of Sedona, Arizona, Oak Creek Canyon splits the Mogollon Rim with high, forested cliffs, and a clear flowing perennial stream.  Dropping as much as 2,000 feet in some areas, the Rim provides some of the most far-reaching scenery in Arizona.  Just north of the mid-point of the canyon, West Fork enters.  This major side canyon climbs gently into the Red Rock - Secret Mountain Wilderness with long still pools tucked against the Coconino sandstone cliffs where early morning light reflects surreal images. 

The unpretentious looking canyon quickly presents a unique and deep gorge punctuated with long still pools glistening with perfect reflections of surrounding features.  Vegetation in this spectacular venue ranges from Ponderosa Pines to Big-tooth Maple and Agave. 

Traveling in this wild canyon during Autumn offers abundant seasonal color with very pleasant temperatures and generally storm-free weather.
