_
Our time together was a lot of fun, but we also worked hard to photograph the area and night skies. We had nearly cloudless skies that made daylight landscape photography a challenge but provided us with awesome dark skies after sunset.
The photos and gallery links below visually describe the workshop far better than any written description. Please take the time to view them and get a sense of the great experiences we shared together.
Many, many thanks to all 9 participants. I enjoyed it and have some great memories that will stay with me forever.
best regards,

Feedback from Students:
"This was awesome. I loved that you were there to help the entire time and didn't leave us out on our own while you were off taking pictures- makes a huge different vs. the workshops that don't do that." - Shanda
"This is my first workshop and I loved it, both the workshop and the people. It is totally worth my time and money and helped me a lot with night shoot techniques, general composition and photography in general. I am definitely interested in other workshops you may have. Please keep me in the loop." - Naga
"It was a blast. I was able to learn/advance techniques for night photography. Sadly my home up north doesn't offer a place to practice! Your first workshop was wonderful, what a great collection of people. Perfect balance of field/workshop/sleep. Well done. I will recommend you to friends." - Scott
"Definitely worth it. Loved the field outings and group shoots and getting to learn the park more in depth. Appreciate your knowledge of the park and willingness to help and answer any question. The group came together well too." - Launa
"Had a great time. It was absolutely worth it. I hope I can remember half of what I learned." - Wes
"Learned a lot. Definitely worth it. Very beneficial. Can't wait to apply all I learned. Had a great time!" - Oscar

Nine photographers joined me in my favorite place, Big Bend National Park, for a five day photography workshop. These folks came from different parts of the US and also Mexico.
