COVID SAFETY: Please read our COVID-19 Information and Prep page.

Join our special, intensive, five-day photography workshop along the stunning Oregon coastline. 

With sea cliffs that dip down to the Pacific Ocean, huge waves crashing against dramatic rocks, sea mists that can add mystery and mood, an historic lighthouse built in the late 1800s, long beaches, the Coquille River, estuaries, tidal pools with sea stars and anemones, and even cranberry bogs, there is more than enough to keep anyone busy photographing.

And, if we are lucky, we may even see some sea lions. Depending upon the year and tides, sometimes sand painting, too.

The weather is eclectic here, ranging from sun to fog and rain. It all makes for some wonderful images. Remember to check out the blog "Blue Skies, Who Needs-em".

We are in a mother lode of photographic opportunities, so we will not have to travel far to find plenty of variety to challenge us. This is also a great workshop for "spousal units," our affectionate term for husbands, wives, and significant others who often join us. 

Regardless of your level, 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. And don't forget our great and fun critique sessions that set us apart from many photography workshops!

When making your plans, it is critical that you plan on arriving for our first session on Sunday. Our newcomers should be ready to go at noon, while our seasoned alumni can wait until 12:30 or 1:00 (we will let you know ahead of the workshop start).

We tend to stay over the night that the workshop ends, and for those who want to join us, we usually go out shooting and dine one last evening together.

So join us and and note that we are offering a twofer discount to those who also join us for Strangeness of the Salton Sea.

Meanwhile, be sure to carefully read our FAQs, as well as the various links in the box above. They should hopefully answer almost any question you might have.

Fees:  Standard $1,880 | Alumni $1,600 | Association $1,700 — w/ twofer discount in combination with Big Sur or Salton Sea | Early-bird Special @ Association rate — both discounts only by check (see parameters)

Travel insurance is highly recommended to ensure protection against any unforeseeable events.
We are a small company and cannot be held liable for those who choose not to buy trip insurance.  Sharon Erickson, our trusty travel agent, can help you with that. And, no, we do not get any credit for referring you to her, only a thank you!
