My photo tours and workshops, which I have been running for 20 years, are designed for photographers at all levels of expertise. Everyone joins in the photo learning – and photo fun!
We shoot during the day and work and play in the digital darkroom at night.
Shop around. You'll find that my photo tours/workshops are some of the best-priced photo learning events available.
If you have any questions, please email me.
Private workshops – in Croton-on-Hudson, New York and in locations around the world – are available.
Nik Software is a sponsor of my USA Workshops.

Other Stuff
If we'll be photographing people on one of my workshops or photo tours, you may want to bring my reflector/diffuser kit.
I highly recommended that you take out travel insurance on all of your trips - on my trips or when you are traveling on your own. You just never know what can happen. I also recommend that you buy refundable airline tickets. Again, anything can happen.
My favorite workshops images are on my Smugmug site. Click here to check 'em out.

IMPORTANT. To have the most fun and to get the most out of my workshops:
1) My workshops are not for beginners. You must know your camera.
2) You must know how to shoot on the Manual Exposure mode.
3) If you have PC, please know where to find stuff. I am a Mac person. We often, but not always, have PC folks on the workshops who can help you, but I use a Mac. My workshops are photography workshops, not computer workshops. :-)
4) You should have Photomatix Pro and HDR Efex Pro downloaded on your laptop before the workshop. You can get a discount on both programs here.
If you have trouble finding your pictures on your PC, this article will help. Thanks to Tom Baker for this info.
