Notes from our latest “Golden Colors of Zapata” workshop in Colorado, October, 2011:

The stunning image, left, was created by Meg McNamee, one of our participants at our annual fall workshop at Zapata Ranch, The Nature Conservancy Ranch in southeast Colorado. Golden colors did prevail, impacting our images with a vibrancy, drama and excitement as seen above. Herds of bison, horses, the shimmering sands of The Great Sand Dunes National Park… not to mention an intensive bootcamp in post-production techniques held in a turn-of-the-century barn studio…all made for a memorable week. Some have already signed up for next year… and we can’t wait to go back!

We’re just back from Zambia.. barely recovered …and looking through thousands of digital files captured during one of our most remarkable photographic journeys ever!

Wildlife “karma” was certainly with us throughout an amazing two weeks …multiple lion and leopard sightings and kills daily, herds of thundering buffalo, countless, elusive small predators caught by the keen eyesight of our expert naturalist guides… and elephants, giraffes, antelopes, wilderbeest, baboons and our all-time favorite, zebras… right in front of our thatched cabins daily.
