Travel Photography Workshop!

TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP 10/24/26

Gold Rush is the local chapter of PSA (the Photographic Society of America) that offers very affordable in-person workshops on a variety of photo topics as well as occasional online programs.

Thinking about a trip and want some tips about Travel Photography, or just enjoy Street Photography and can use some travel photography tips? Laurie Friedman, the Gold Rush President, will be presenting a program on Travel Photography, including everything she has learned during her years of travel, ranging from location and photography advice to packing tips. Adding icing to the cake, Susan Bovey, the Gold Rush VP, will talk about online and phone apps for travel.

We’ll be meeting as usual at the Oakmont of East Sacramento at 5301 F St. The schedule is 8:30 for registration (with coffee and cookies), 9-10:45 or so for the program, then going downtown for a conveniently-timed Ethnic Parade for our photo shoot. The program is free for Gold Rush members, but you can come as a guest for $15 to check us out or join Gold Rush for $25 for the year. Please visit our new, beautiful website at psagoldrush.org for more membership and program information, and you can register for the workshop now at https://tinyurl.com/travellfriedman

> After visiting over 100 countries, both to see the sights and do photography, Laurie will share her years of travel experience: She’s visited all seven continents and can recommend places and best times of the year to travel, has a list of affordable travel companies as well as a packing list to share, can compare solo vs. tour travel, and has photography advice and tips as well. Please bring your questions in case something is missed!

> Susan believes the research and planning for a trip is as much fun as being there. She has a handout with online and phone apps to help plan, navigate, and find unique areas of photographic interest both before and on your trips.
