Lecture coming up

I will be speaking to the Houston Photochrome Club on Thursday, February 9. Come experience some of my photographic experiences from the African continent.

Arches & Canyonlands Workshop

We are headed to the the epicenter of red rock country to photograph the inspiring arches, balanced rocks and spires of Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. If you have never photographed in the Moab, Utah area, you owe it to yourself to witness some of the most famous geological formations in the American West. This is the time of year with very few visitors to these parks, so we will avoid the crowds and have the area to ourselves. This workshop will be both field instruction and also a day of hands-on digital workflow time.

The ultimate power adapter

A few months back, while out on safari, Thomas Knoll (one of the original authors of Photoshop), introduced me to the Road Warrior universal electrical plug. I have seen devices like this in the past, but nothing so compact and, well, universal. What a wonderful product. It seems that I only see great innovations like this from the Japanese market, and I was glad to finally find a source for such a product here in the US. The Road Warrior allows me to carry a small and lightweight adapter that will work in any country around the world. Time to put away my multiple sets of plugs. I usually take 3 or 4 adapters on each trip, per country. Sometimes I might need 3 totally different sets of adapters for a single trip. Not any longer, since I found this product.

You can purchase the Road Warrior from Madsonline for US$28 each.

Luminous Landscape Video Journal

The Luminous Landscape Video Journal issue #13 has just been released. This issue contains footage from Tanzania, along with print discussions from the safari. Here are some preview clips from the DVD.

New 2007 Safaris Announced

We have setup our first two safaris in early 2007, to coincide with the wildebeest calving season on the Serengeti short grass plains. The dates will be January 22 - February 2, 2007 and February 1 - February 12, 2007. More information will be on the Safaris and Workshops page.

Limited Edition Portfolio Box 'Africa' is shipping

My limited edition portfolio of 25 hand printed photographs has begun shipping! Africa will be limited to an edition of 10 and each set of 25 prints will be signed and numbered individually. The presentation box is a hand made clam-shell box, with an inset photograph on the front cover, along with handling gloves to prevent soiling of the prints. This is an exciting announcement, culminating from countless hours of Andy's dedication to the 'perfect print'. To order your individually numbered Africa portfolio, please read more here.

We have announced our September 13, 2006 safari. This safari will focus on the migratory animals, primarily elephants, along the Tarangire River in Tarangire National Park. We will also visit the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Parks.
