Joshua Tree National Park

• What we'll do
Hello everyone!

I'm heading for to Joshua Tree National Park and the south-central coast of California for a photography vacation. Would you like to join me? If so, this is your invitation!

This is two photography workshop-vacations in one! You are welcome to attend either or both. There are three days and four nights for each portion. The first half features an exploration of the forms, textures, lines, and landscapes of beautiful Joshua Tree National Park. I've photographed here several times during the past two years. It offers visually stunning possibilities for "keeper" images--photographs you'll be proud to display in your home or office, or to give as gifts to others. There's a day-long drive between Joshua Tree and the coast. We'll pass through some wonderful landscapes on the way. And always there's time for photography. The second part of the workshop-vacation takes place on the south-central California coast. I've photographed here several times too. It's one of my all-time favorite locations. The dunes are some of the best for photography that I've ever seen. We'll stay in lovely Pismo Beach, right next to the ocean. From there our explorations will take us south and then north. Sites waiting to be enjoyed include dunes, vineyards, and Spanish missions. Come and meet me! I'd love the company.

You are welcome to bring guests. Please understand that all adults, guests and vacation-workshop participants, must pay full price since they will be part of our group. If you have special needs regarding your guest, or you are considering bringing sub-adults, please let me know. We can have a conversation about your costs. Some room for fee adjustment in that case is available.

The cost each of these once in a lifetime workshops is only $565.00. Or, enjoy both for only $949.00.

Airfare, food, and lodging are not included in your workshop-vacation fee. However, fees to Joshua Tree National Park and other sites are definitely included. As of Friday, February 10th, airfare, hotel rooms, and rental cars were remaining at good prices. I just made my reservations. For lodging, I'll be staying at the following two places. Join me there. High Desert Motel in Joshua Tree
Edgewood Inn and Suites in Pismo Beach
