As promised, I've put together a gallery
of images from my recent trip to Patagonia. They
span from
Buenos Aires and El Calafate, Argentina, to the
national
parks in Patagonia on both the Argentinean and
Chilean sides, to the Atacama Desert in northern
Chile.
All in all, it was a great trip. The light didn't cooperate as we would have liked and we had several sunrise and sunset shoots where pesky horizon hugging clouds made an appearance, essentially ruining what would have otherwise been the most spectacular sunrise or sunset in the history of all photography. Oh well. Maybe next time.
Speaking of next time, it looks like I'll be going back
with David Muench and Jack Dykinga again in April of
2009. This trip will also be through Distinctive
Journeys. I should have details soon. |

Don Mammoser and I have had a late cancellation in
our Triple "D" Mariposa workshop,
April 14-18. This workshop also has the option of
participating in the "Day at the Ranch" shoot, one of
Triple D's most popular events.
If you're interested in taking the spot, please contact me as soon as you can. All the contact info is at the bottom of this newsletter. |

As I often get asked to suggest good books on
Photoshop, I consider it my solemn duty to read and
evaluate every single book on Photoshop that's out
there.
Yeah, right. But I do have a few Photoshop books, and one that I recenlly bought is John Shaw's Photoshop CS3 Guide e- book ($30). If you've ever read any of John's other books you already know that he's a great writer who can take complex topics and make them easy to understand. This e- book is no different. This is not a book on every tool in Photoshop. This is not a book about how to take a moose from one picture and put it on the back of an elephant in another picture. This is a book about using the tools in Photoshop that are most useful for the nature photographer. In this book, John talks about the tools he uses in his own imaging.
For those of you new or relatively new to Photoshop,
John covers a lot of the basics. And for those of you
who are relatively adept at using Photoshop, you'll
probably
find techniques and tools you may have not been
familiar with. I know I did. |

Don and I still have spaces available in both our Slot Canyons/Monument Valley
workshop (Sept. 23-28) and our Zion National Park workshop Oct. 28- Nov. 1).
September is a great time to visit the Monument Valley
and Slot Canyons. The Rabbitbrush will be in bloom
and since school will be back in session, the slots
should be less crowded. |

Well, back to tiling the shower. I'm thinking that today
could be the day that I finish laying the tile. Then it's
just grouting and sealing and I'll FINALLY be
done.
But don't hold your breath. |
