It’s been a busy but exciting spring. I gave lots of photography workshops around the country: in Chicago, New York, Texas, Delaware and Washington D.C. We explored floral close-ups, the magic of orchids, the wildflowers of Texas and whatever each group of participants wanted to learn about digital photography and after-capture techniques. I met many wonderful people and I hope to see some of you again at future workshops.

With summer around the corner, I am gearing up for another series of workshops, lectures – and even a couple of cruises. Take a look at what’s coming up; then read the posts below for registration information. I hope you find something that sparks your interest.
