The ADVENTURE PHOTOGRAPHIC WORKSHOP AND TOUR begins in the colonial city of Merida, capital of Yucatan. Photographers will check into their hotel and will work out of my Studio in Merida. From here, we will visit ruins, colonial churches, haciendas, small pueblos, the local costal areas including flamingo habitats, and hidden side treasures known by locals and myself.
 "My main emphasis of all my classes is self expression. This workshop along with the tour will focus not only on photographic techniques, but on visual representation of your thoughts of Yucatan, its people, and its environment."
We will learn the basics of black-and-white and color digital photography
while traveling though the beautiful Mexican state of Yucatan. Its inhabitants are descendents
of not only Spain, but the Mayan culture which still occupy the peninsula from Guatemala to
the limits of the Gulf of Mexico. The Mayas, in addition to Spanish,
still speak their native tongue and continue living in their traditional
ways that date back hundreds of years. The area is well known for its
archaeological treasures, traditions, Spanish colonial influences which
are exemplified in the pyramids of Chichen Itza, Uxmal, and the beautiful
cities of Merida, Isamal and Valladolid.
There will be daily critiques and instructions on exposure, content, adjustments, and presentation of photographs. Students need only their cameras and laptop.
Cost: $1850 includes hotel for 6 nights, transportation from airport, classes and instruction, entry fees to ruins, guides, and selected meals.
