Join our five-day photography workshop in the gorgeous Rockies of Colorado with
their vibrant fall Aspens and old ghost towns. People travel
to this part of the country to take in the beautiful yellows of the trees against clear-blue skies and explore old log buildings of a bygone era.
There is a lot of wild land around here, and we will take you to different valleys
that we love, including one with a huge Aspen grove carpeted with ferns in their
copper fall foliage. There are backlit streams and rivers, mountains with vestiges
of last year's snow falls, old wooden buildings, and plenty to whet your photographic
eye.
Here and at the other locations, you'll be able
to celebrate your passion for photography, hone your seeing and imaging skills,
and learn about the magic of light to make wonderful photographs.
The Barefoot Contessa and Arnie have photographed a lot in this area and look forward to
sharing it with you. We'll be based in Crested Butte, Colorado with its many,
gaily-painted, historic buildings, wonderful restaurants, and cafés galore. This
is a popular time of year when the Aspens and Cottonwoods are showing their prettiest
colors, so it's best to book early! You can always cancel later.
