I will be running my annual
Arches and Canyonlands Workshop again this year, and the dates are set for December 4 - 8, 2007. This is the time of the year when there are no crowds, the skies are haze-free, and there is the likelihood of a dusting of snow on the ground. These factors all add up to the perfect time to host a workshop in red rock country.
We wll be basing the workshop out of Moab, Utah, and will include accommodations at my favorite inn, The Gonzo Inn. The Gonzo Inn has free wi-fi internet access, which is a great thing for those who hate to pull away from daily life.
We are planning an entire day of digital printing with my friends over at Moab by Legion Paper. After capturing dynamic landscapes for four days, we will then turn our time to digital printing.
This photographic workshop requires 5 days out of your schedule. Here is the breakdown of the days:
Day 1 ( December 4 ) - We will meet in Moab, Utah for an afternoon trip into Arches National Park.
Days 2-4 ( December 5 - 7 ) - For the next 3 days, we will photograph the landscapes of Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Dead Horse Point State Park and other local out of the way locations. We will also plan on photographing the two iconic locations of the area; Delicate Arch at sunset and Mesa Arch at sunrise. Our specific daily schedule will be determined by weather conditions. If we have overcast weather, we will change course and focus on the abundant petroglyphs of the area. Our goal is to take advantage of the time we have available to us, no matter what the weather situation is at the time.
Day 5 ( December 8 ) - Day of printing and workflow discussions. We will spend the entire day inside, going over my own workflow, as well as printing images of your own. *If you would like to print your own photographs, please bring your own laptop computer*. We will have a number of Epson printers available on a network, as well as Moab by Legion Paper samples for us to use. If you are interested in learning more about fine art printing, you will find this last day of the workshop to be very valuable.
The cost of this workshop is U.S. $1,495 per person. Transportation and meals are not provided. Accommodations are included in this workshop at The Gonzo Inn. The included nights are from December 4 until December 8, checking out on December 9.
