Italy: I am totally, totally excited to be off to Italy on Monday to lead a destination photo workshop. Phyllis and I have been planning this trip for over a year! I’m totally psyched to see it actually happening, and very excited about the locations, hotels, restaurants, and new and old friends who will be with me. Can’t wait to get out my camera on Italian soil! I’ve been charged by a friend to photograph some of the meals we’ll be eating, so that also is (so to speak) on my plate. You can click here to see exactly where we will be going! (PDF download)

Paris: My photography group the first week of May 2016 in Paris is starting to come together. So if this destination photo workshop interests you, to take advantage of the early-registration discount, please drop us an email. You can click here for the detailed itinerary, and here for the Reservation form. Please let us know if you have any questions!

Last but not least: In the planning stages: a week in a Tuscany in an historic rural farmhouse near Sienna, Italy in October, 2016 with a small group; and a follow-on week in Venice in the October-November 2016 time-frame. If either (or both!) of these seem intriguing, drop us a line to be added to the interest lists.

And save the date: My last webinar with Topaz Labs was so much fun, and so popular, that I’ll be doing it again: on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 at 2PM. This one is Beyond Photography: Painterly Effects with Topaz, and I am looking forward to going completely wild! The webinar is free, but pre-registration is required—stay tuned for the registration link, which is yet to come.
