The Seascapes of the Rugged Oregon Coast

Oregon - Natural Bridges - Sunrise - Travel Photography Workshop

There are few places more photogenic than the rugged Oregon Coast. Lined with stormy seascapes, rugged cliffs, hidden beaches, and expansive dunes, there’s really no place like the southern Oregon Coast to experience the raw power of the Pacific Ocean! At the same time, walk through old-growth forests, chase the tide in hidden coves, hike secluded beaches, or savor the view of a classic lighthouse to enjoy the region’s spectacular serenity.

Join me for 5 nights and 4-1/2 days as we explore the rugged seascapes and tranquil forests of the majestic Oregon Coast!

Death Valley Backcountry Adventure

Death Valley NP - Zabriskie Point

Most photography workshops barely scratch the surface of this fantastic park because many of the “best” locations are only accessible using 4×4 high-clearance vehicles on rough backcountry roads.

We’ll trek to three of the most remote and spectacular areas of the park that seldom get seen: Racetrack Playa – where the famous “sailing stones” are found; the Eureka Sand Dunes – the tallest dunes in California and possibly North America; and the Ubehehe Crater – a half-mile wide volcanic crater.
