March 20-23 Mata Ortiz, Mexico (All spots in this workshop are currently taken)

I will be leaving for Mata Ortiz, Mexico this Friday to make arrangements for another "Tao of Photography" workshop this coming March and will inform you of the details once I have returned. This workshop will be focusing on telling a story through your photographs. There will be many opportunities to explore the old Adobe architecture of Casas Grandes, the infamous potters of Mata Ortiz, and Casas Grandes Paquime, Art in Adobe Declared World Heritage in 1997. You can find out more about these places by googling them on the web.

I'm also planning a 10 day workshop in Vilcabama, Ecuador for either the summer of '08 or '09. I will tempt you with a link to the place we would be holding the workshop for both lodging and conferencing www.montesuenos.org
This is one of the most magical places I have ever traveled to and I guarantee you it would be an expedition of a lifetime. It is on the western edge of the Andes Mountains with a rainbow every evening. I would plan the journey for sometime in July as this is one of the best months for spectacular photography. Let me know of your interest level and whether '08 or '09 would work better for you. I will then get details and costs to you.

 
The other workshop I am planning  is another "Gifts of the Desert" for November '08. This would take place at Cochise Stronghold in the Dragoon Mountains. My friends John & Nancy Yates have a spectacular B&B located in the heart of the Stronghold with amazing opportunities for wildlife/landscape photography check out their website http://www.cochisestrongholdbb.com/
They can accommodate up to 12 people and they are health oriented gourmet cooks. The cost should be similar to our Sedona experience but a very different topography and experience than Sedona.

After each workshop the best images from each participant is exhibited at PanTerra Gallery for one month.
The Sedona workshop photos are currently on display at the Gallery and have already resulted in 1/3 being sold.

The intention is that the workshops become a comprehensive experience of travel, learning more about your photographic gifts from the intuitive side, and an opportunity to exhibit your best work for feedback and possible sales.

The workshops are limited to 12 participants.

So these are some of my plans going forward...let me know which workshops intrigue you and I will begin planning itineraries and costs.

Look forward to sharing more experiences together in 2008!
