I know the calendar says today is March 1, but since I didn't get my February newsletter out yesterday, I prefer to think this is a leap year and today is Feb. 29, so I'm not late.
In last month's newsletter I talked about photographing colliding water drops and I've been spending a good deal of time making more splashes and capturing the collisions. Every splash is different and I'm getting some great results and I've had several workshops with more to come. Click here to see more water drop photos.
Speaking of workshops, I love working with photographers and I have some pretty exciting ones planned. Whenever possible I'm doing workshops online while I have people in attendance. I'm using a great service that has high quality video and audio, so it is just like being at the workshop in person.
I'm thrilled to be heading to Iceland next week for a sold-out workshop, it has been high on my list for a long time. I'm also hosting a workshop in Maine's Acadia National Park in June. That workshop is also sold out but since it's one of my favorite places, I'm sure I'll have another there next year. I mentioned last month the Cape May Photographic Creativity Workshop I'm hosting May, it will be a great weekend for photographers to concentrate on their photography and looking at the world in a different. I have several other exciting workshops scheduled and more in the works. |

Venice during Carnival 2019 I'm teaming up with friend Ron Lake again and this time we're heading to Venice, Italy, during the most exciting time of year, Carnival! The workshop will feature the beauty of Venice at Carnival time, models wearing masks all around the city ready to be photographed and a spectacular fireworks show on the final night. The bridges over the canals are lit and make for brilliant color night photos. If you want to have some real fun and make great pictures, join us Feb. 28-March 6, 2019. Read More... |
| | | Photography Get-A-Way weekend in Vermont Sometimes we just need to get away from everything, let our mind clear and play photographer. And Vermont is the perfect place to do it! So I'm hosting a weekend where we can just relax and think about photography. You can read more about it here. |
| | Shooting the stars and light painting workshop |
| Get away from city lights and explore photographing at night, astrophotography and light painting during my Night Skies and Light Painting Workshop Aug. 2-5. You don’t have to head out west to find darkness, we’ll go to remote Vermont locations that offer tremendous views of the sky. I have mastered the technique of light painting: using flashlights to illuminate large objects in the dark. The combination of stars and light painting make for incredible images. Get more details |
| | Winter in Vermont is special |
| My annual Vermont Winter Wonderland Workshop was in early February and, as always, Vermont was beautiful, snow covered and I had a great group of people at the sold-out workshop. It is always a thrill to give people a new experience and for some in the group it was the first time they've walked on water - a frozen lake. We photographed people ice fishing, beautiful farm scenes and covered bridges. I wrote about the fun weekend on my blog. |
