For the sixth consecutive year, I’ll be teaching this popular workshop in some of the finest photography locations in the United States. The theme of the workshop is to discover and use your creative vision in making memorable photographs. In addition to specific exercises and instruction to help you understand the creative process, we will have regular reviews and sharing of our photographs. I will also show you how to manifest your vision using Adobe Lightroom software.

The town of Springdale, Utah and Zion National Park will be our headquarters for the week. This area offers a spectacular variety of scenery, topography and wildlife. We will explore Zion Canyon, hiking easy trails to photograph the sandstone rock formations, vegetation, waterfalls and the Virgin River. We’ll see the Zion Canyon from the floor and from the rim, photographing at various times of day.

We will venture beyond Zion to Bryce National Park and the Escalante Wilderness, visiting both well-known and little-known areas, possibly seeing sand dunes and wildlife along the way.

Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada on the morning of June 12, our small group of 12 photographers will drive in 3 SUVs to Flanigan’s Inn in Springdale, Utah, where we will spend the next 6 nights. Flanigan’s is the first eco-hotel in the town, with a spa, restaurant, swimming pool and zen garden on location. Springdale has numerous restaurants and shops, making it fun to walk around in the evening.

Each day we will explore different sections of Zion and Bryce National Parks and their environs. In addition to well known trails, we’ll visit a local ghost town, discover slot canyons and visit slickrock areas seldom seen by casual tourists. We will explore various styles of landscape photography ranging from descriptive to abstract.
