Here are updates about upcoming events, workshops and tours. You'll also find information on what's new in the JOURNAL, in the GALLERIES, in my GEAR bag and other noteworthy things.
And if you want to know what happens in the meantime, you can find my occasional posts on social media sites when I find other good stuff to share.
NEW JOURNAL ENTRY A RETIRING THOUGHT
After 30 years of nature photography workshops and tours, I'm stepping into another landscape. I'm retiring from teaching and touring and retiring to writing and photographing for stories and essays. It's not a new environment for me, but it's one I'm eager to explore again.

BOSQUE del APACHE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE and
WHITE SANDS NATIONAL PARK
Socorro and Alamogordo, New Mexico
Experience the great gathering of wild birds in their premiere wintering grounds of the West. Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge offers dawn-to-dusk opportunities among thousands of Sandhill cranes, Snow geese and other migratory birds.
Then explore the Chihuahuan desert's graphic landscapes and intimate details among the rare gypsum sand dunes of White Sands National Park. December offers the low-angled light and desirable conditions that reveal the dunes environment's simple beauty.

A REUNION IN THE FIELD Joining an Old Friend for New Adventures
A good friend is like a good sunrise -- a surprise that never gets old.
I'm pleased to join Rod Barbee for my final workshop. We co-led workshops years ago until we found challenges that took us in different directions. Now we're together for one last adventure in two of our favorite places.
Rod is a wonderful photographer, teacher and friend. I know we both look forward to sharing the trail and the view with like-minded photographers again. It's the best way I know to renew old friendships and make new ones.
Join us in Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge and White Sands National Park.
