Phyllis and I are pleased and excited to see Photography with Harold Davis so active. After only a few months we are now up to 460 members. We never expected such an immediate and positive response.

We have many exciting events planned for 2012, including a series of free webcasts as well as more free
Walk-and-Talks with Harold Davis and book give-aways. Check out Photography with Harold Davis for details!

I want to call your attention to the Tao of Photography Workshop at Green Dragon Temple and Zen Center in the Marin Headlands in early August. If you register by December 31, 2011 you save $200 over the full price.

Please consider taking advantage of this early-bird special before the price rises on December 31, 2011. Why not send your special photographer friend as a post-Christmas treat, or (better yet!) go with them? This workshop includes accomodations for three nights as well as three scrumptuous organic vegetarian meals each day.

I’ve never been anywhere so apparently remote and beautiful as the Zen Center but also close to a major city (San Francisco). Check out the Tao of Photography Workshop at Green Dragon Temple for more information.

The Flower Photography Workshop with Harold Davis in early June is now sold out. If there is demand for it I will run this workshop again later in the summer.

If you are interested, please RSVP and add yourself to the waiting list for the June Flower Photography Workshop with Harold Davis. This will help us gauge interest in a second workshop, and I will give those who have are on the RSVP list first “dibbs” on spots in the second workshop.

Please consider the May Full Moon Workshop: Photograph the Golden Gate Bridge Like You Never Have Before.

To get an idea what you might expect, check out the comments from the last time we ran this workshop and the photos that participants made! Once again, this is an intimate workshop and places are very limited.

Thanks so much for being part of our photography community, and best wishes for 2012!

Save the dates. We have two exciting weekend workshops planned (but not formally announced), both under the aegis of the Point Reyes Field Insititute:

• Friday June 1 – Sunday June 3, 2012: Macros, Close-Ups, and Flowers
• Friday August 17 – Monday August 20, 2012: Ancient Bristlecone Pine Night Photography
