Hello again from your friends at Arizona Highways Photo Workshops.
My goodness, it's been a banner year here so far. We've had 9 sold-out
workshops on the schedule, two of which have already been conducted
(we can't wait to see the pictures!). If you're still interested
in a trip this year please call or email us soon to reserve your
space. We'd hate for you to miss out.
SEQUOIAS / KINGS CANYON
We know our participants are always looking for great places to
take pictures. That's why it's hard to understand why less than
a handful of you have shown interest in a really spectacular workshop
- the Sequoias/Kings
Canyon trip in May. Our volunteers obviously know how good it's
going to be, since more of them requested to escort this workshop
than any of the others we're conducting this year. Having gone on
it myself in 2001 I can tell you it's an amazing experience. One
favorite memory from the trip was climbing into the heart of a still-living
sequoia tree that had been gutted by fire. The towering giant enveloped
me in its age and majesty, and it was a truly humbling experience.
Watching sunset light up the face of Moro Rock, or a waterfall take
a 90-degree turn before tumbling down Roaring River Falls, and wading
into Tokopah Creek to photograph a fallen log are other highlights
I'll always cherish. Quite unexpectedly, two of my best wildflower
photos were taken on this trip, plus the dogwoods should be in bloom.
Deer and bears also frequent the area.
Do you need even MORE enticement? Don't forget that our photographer,
Marc Muench, who's incredibly adept with both film and digital formats,
will give a number of midday classes on Photoshop techniques during
the workshop. We've also decided to include all meals in the price
of the trip. What more can you ask for? Check out the itinerary
