By popular demand we are pleased to offer this extremely popular workshop for the 12th time! The Mono Basin and Eastern Sierra have some of the most exciting photographic opportunities imaginable. Late autumn light will add to the magic and wonder of this area. This field workshop will allow you to explore the spectacular photographic possibilities of this amazing landscape under the leadership of two skilled and talented photographers, Anne Larsen and John Sexton, and is open to dedicated photographers working with either traditional or digital materials. The most important thing is to arrive with an open mind and a desire to work hard at improving your photography.

If you are interested in attending this workshop please send your application soon. It is likely that the session will be fully subscribed. If you have any questions about the workshop, please feel free to contact us via email.

The group will be visiting a number of exciting locations to explore during the workshop. We will be photographing late and early light on the unique tufa formations on multiple field sessions at Mono Lake, as well as exploring nearby beautiful Sierra canyons and the spectacular Yosemite high country. Sexton and Larsen will be available to assist participants in the field and will be offering indoor instruction sessions. We will utilize a large, comfortable classroom facility in Lee Vining, just a few hundred yards from the shore of Mono Lake, and within walking distance of our motel. Along with instructor presentations and demonstrations, an important aspect of the workshop will be constructive portfolio reviews of prints that participants bring to the workshop. It will be a time of great scenery, photography, and camaraderie.

Included in the workshop fee will be a special dinner the final night of the workshop, as well as one lunch in the field, along with a handout booklet prepared by John. Lodging, additional meals, and transportation costs are the responsibility of each participant. This workshop is limited to ten people, and no guests are allowed. Early enrollment is advised. The workshop begins on Sunday morning, and ends late Friday evening. Participation in the full workshop is required.
