Richard is conducting a series of workshops for the benefit of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Each workshop consists of a Thursday evening session to include a slide show, lecture and discussion; and an all day Saturday session making photos along the trails of the Preserve. The November workshop was much fun and produced some terrific images, including several award winning images. The remaining dates are Thursday and Saturday February 23rd and 25th; as well as Thursday March 15th combined with Saturday March 17th. The Thursday evening sessions will take place at the Gateway Trailhead area of the Preserve, which is located on Thompson Peak Parkway, just north of Bell Road in Scottsdale, Arizona. Meet locations for the Saturday field sessions will be presented on Thursday evening.
The fee is $125- per two day workshop; or $200- for all four days. All fees go directly to the Preserve. You will learn to improve your photography and will have a lot of fun in the process. I hope you will join us. Our November program filled quickly. To register, or for more information, please contact Molly at 480-998-7971 x102.

Custom, small group, or individual, one on one field instruction workshops can be arranged as schedules permit. In advance of a custom workshop, a telephone or email meeting would be held to identify the material to be covered during the workshop. A custom workshop is designed to meet your specific interests or needs. This type of program can be planned for as little as one half of a day, or as long as a week. For additional information, or for scheduling inquiries, please contact Richard.

Photography workshops with Richard . . . Richard is an inspired instructor with twenty years of teaching experience. He leads workshops that are fun and effective. Richard has studied with some of today's most creative photographers, including Freeman Patterson, Robert Glenn Ketchum, Dewitt
Jones, Andre Gallant and Eddie Soloway. While each has had a significant influence on Richard's work, his own vision is reflected in his images, and he strives to share this personal quality with those he teaches.

While most of the workshop time will be spent in the field, where outdoor photography instruction is most effective, there will also be a classroom session to review basic concepts and critique images. The discussion will include the essentials of visual design to stimulate your creativity and expand your vision. These workshops are an opportunity to spend a few days enjoying the beauty of nature while learning to make better photographs. You will return home with great images and improved photographic techniques.
