Death Valley: Dunes & Full Moon - From Mesquite Flat Dunes to Badwater, Zabriskie Point to Mosaic Canyon and places in between, we'll explore and photograph the stark beauty of this wonderful desert location during the week of full moon. The air is clear in winter, making the low angle of the light dramatic. Winter can also bring great clouds yet without having it rain. It's a location that will challenge you visually as you learn to see its beauty. FULL with wait list.

Yosemite in Spring - Early May, the dogwood bracts are emerging, their glowing white shapes gently floating on bare trees. The Merced River, swollen with snow melt, courses through the valley, often overflowing its banks to create ephemeral 'lakes' with incredible reflections. Bleeding hearts bloom, and other small wildflowers are bursting forth, beneath the timeless beauty of the iconic rocks of the valley. During a full moon, the base of Yosemite Falls offers moonbows in the mist. Join us for a wonder-filled experience at a magical time of year. Scroll page for additional information.

UMBRIA, ITALY - Rolling fields are punctuated by hilltop medieval towns, and sleepy villages are tucked between vineyards and olive groves. Join Brenda and Jed on this photo tour through Tuscany's 'rustic' sister. We'll photograph the countryside and in Orvieto, Spello, Assisi, Perugia and Gubbio, along with smaller villages in between, photographing the daily life of people and the quintessential Italian scene. We'll also take in our favorite area of Tuscany, too, the Pienza region. Scroll page for additional information.
