Here’s what one participant in a previous Harold Davis Photograph Paris workshop had to say: “Had an awesome time with Harold, Mark, and the workshop participants.  Itching to go back.  If you’re a photographer, Paris at night is a ‘Must Do!’.  Put it on your bucket list ‘cause you may not see this in Heaven.”

This workshop will not be given in 2014, but we hope to be able to hold a Dark of the Moon Bristlecone Pine workshop in the summer of 2015. Please check out the linked discussion thread to learn more about the status of this event.
