At the NANPA Summit this week I had the opportunity to meet and speak with Paul Hassell, a young man who’s on fire with a new project that any nature photographer interested in opportunities to expand their knowledge of nature photography should find very interesting and may want to support. Paul’s project will bring the […]
How pleasantly surprised could I be? Not much more than I was when a friend of mine called to let me know that another friend, a great lady named Nancy Kieffer, who has participated in my photo workshops, was featured in a magazine called 55 PLUS. Of course I had to run right out and get […]
A couple days ago Margo Pinkerton, a photographer I respect a lot, made a comment on her blog about the difference between a photo tour and a photo workshop.
