It’s been a whirlwind of incredible travel in the first quarter! The first three months of 2025 have gone through the woodchipper and whipped away by the winds of time like so much sawdust in the air.
That’s a little verbally overblown, but hey, it’s more fun than just shrugging and saying, “Hey, time flies!”
Very grateful. So, let’s see. Places of late….
Cuba, for a workshop with OneWorldSeen and a personal project with the Cuban dance community. Cuban dancers are vibrance defined and amazing to work with.
An encore in the Amazon. A wonderful workshop organized by Fancy Girl Street Boy Productions. Literally at La Selva Eco Lodge, it’s another world, far, far removed from the concrete I pretty much grew up on.
And here, right now, as I write this, in Vietnam, also with Fancy Girl Street Boy Productions! Teaching with my dear friend and incredibly talented photographer, Ari Espay. I’ve always wanted to come back to Vietnam. I was here on assignment for the book project, Passage to Vietnam in the middle-ish nineties. This astonishing kindly and warm hearted country has gone from moving on bicycles to rolling on motor scooters and cars. Pretty wild.

And the beat goes on as the year continues in exciting fashion!
Next stop Northern Ireland the first week of April. Two events – an evening lecture in Belfast (SOLD OUT) and a Photo Walk the next day in the Titanic Quarter that has a few spots left. Looking forward to return to Northern Ireland and meet folks in this active and enthusiastic photo community.
Drumroll for our debut Storytelling in Sicily Workshop! So much fun scouting Sicily and can’t wait to kickoff the workshop this May.
Fast forward to the fall! Teaching our Tuscany Fall Workshop again with dear friend and fellow Nikon Ambassador Tamara Lackey in Italy. Terrific workshop last year and looking forward to our return this year which includes a private theatre shoot in one of the oldest theatres in Florence with costumed actors, cultural excursions, a private vineyard shoot with vintage Fiats, Vespas and models! This year’s twist is exploring the beautiful town of Pietrasanta and the vibrant artist community there with a buyout at a lovely, small hotel there. Still spots available!
And a return to Iceland with Fancy Girl Street Boy Productions! We’ll teach two different workshop weeks in Iceland, one in October, and one in November. Ari and Liza have an amazing itinerary planned! Taught in Iceland some years ago for a lighting workshop, but this time around we will embrace a wide variety things such as portraiture, landscape, Northern Lights, and the astonishing color and light of this magical land of fire and ice. Still a couple spots left in November so if interested, book now!
I’ve always said that the camera is a visa. In 2025 that is very true!
