TENTATIVE ITINERARY
Day One
- We'll meet at our departure point in Phoenix at 7:30 a.m., leaving promptly
at 8 a.m.
- On the drive to Chinle we'll make a stop for lunch at the La Posada in Winslow.
- Once we arrive, we'll have a chance to take a few portraits of Navajo models in the late afternoon light.
 Day Two
- We'll rise early to capture early morning sweet light
at one of LeRoy's favorite locations.
- Following breakfast we'll enjoy a full day tour of Canyons
de Chelly and del Muerto. We'll have some Navajo children
along to pose in front of the ruins and in other traditional
Navajo settings.
- If there's time in the evening we'll photograph a
local blacksmith in the light-streaked interiors and exteriors
of a local barn.
Day Three
- In the early morning we may spend time in the rolling
badlands of the Chinle Basin, photographing its striated
sandstone formations.
- We'll leave for Window Rock and the climax weekend of the Navajo Nation Fair. After checking into our hotel we'll travel to the fairgrounds to get our first taste of this extraordinary experience.
Day Four
- We'll spend all day today at the Navajo Nation Fair, enjoying the many colorful activities, and taking moving portraits of Navajo subjects that LeRoy will help us find. Rodeo riders, wooly riders, jingle dancers and more will give us unlimited opportunities to craft great portraits.
Day Five
- We'll return to the Fair in the morning for a few more opportunities before returning to Phoenix. The workshop gets back in the early evening, and we encourage out-of-state visitors to make return flight reservations for the next morning.
