You get there, we take care of the rest! Join us in beautiful eastern Wyoming for an amazing six day workshop photographing working cowboys on a sprawling ranch in the heart of winter. For this workshop, we will be on a working cattle ranch, photographing genuine folks who live the life, and are cowboy to the core. These are not professional models, just honest hard working cowboys and girls. In other words, this is as authentic as it gets, and we promise you will not see a rhinestone anywhere on this workshop. We'll photograph a huge variety of action, scenery, and subjects, including cowboy portraits, riding, roping, running horses, close-ups of cowboy gear and tack, horse pushes, farrier work, and more. Snow filled valleys and forest covered hills will provide the perfect winter setting for this workshop, topped off with snow-capped mountains as our backdrop. Our hosts for this workshop are the New Haven Ranch, nestled on the edge of a canyon in the Bear Lodge Mountains of eastern Wyoming. This unique ranch sprawls across deep canyons, rolling hills, and even has a real ghost town on location. The ranch boosts a herd of over 30 horses in a variety of colors which will be featured in many of our photo sessions around the ranch. Led by award winning professional photographers, this will be your best opportunity to photograph authentic working cowboys and cowgirls on a real ranch setting. And when we say “real” and “authentic”, just remember this is a working ranch, so you’ll have to watch where you step! So go ahead pop that “Open Range” DVD in the player, start getting inspired, and make plans this winter to join us as we photograph the real west!

February 16-March 2, 2012 : Winter is the best time to visit Tanzania and Kenya, there are light rains in East Africa in October and November, these rains turn the grasses green and greatly reduce the amount of dust in the bush. The heavy rains (monsoon) occur from the end of March through May. So although we can’t count on the weather, late February and early March are considered some of the best months for wildlife safaris. We avoid the crowds that appear in Africa in late summer and this is also the beginning of the world’s largest migration as the wildebeests and zebras move north across the Serengeti into Kenya and the Masai Mara. We will be right in the middle of the migration, watching thousands of wildebeests and zebras being born.

Feb 26-March 2, 2012 : Join Marti Jeffers and TJ Avery in one of the best kept secrets in the US, Big Bend National Park, for 6 days of photography instruction and amazing scenery. Both Marti and TJ have a deep love for this area and have visited and photographed here on many different occasions. They both know the area and the best places and times to shoot. The Big Bend of the Rio Grande River (or Rio Bravo del Norte as it is known south of the border) is deep in the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert. From the heights of the Chisos Mountains, at 7825 feet at the highest peak, to the deep gorges carved out of solid rock by the Rio Grande, we will photograph the rugged natural beauty of this large and least visited national park at what is typically the peak of the spring wildflower season. We may even encounter some of the abundant wildlife that inhabits the park. As night photography is one of TJ's loves, this workshop will include sessions on photographing the amazing night skies in Big Bend National Park. Big Bend is one of the darkest places in the US at night, allowing for one to see the night sky as few have ever seen. Places included in our agenda include some of Big Bend's classic locations such as Santa Elena Canyon, Ross Maxwell Drive, Ernst Tinaja, Sotol Vista Overlook, Casa Grande, the view through the Window, Boquillas Canyon, as well as the eclectic ghost town of Terlingua (still inhabited) and the historic cemetery boot-hill (still in use) just outside of the town.
