About the Workshop
|
NE Oregon offer some of the most diverse and beautiful landscapes in the Northwest. Amazing granite mountains (nicknamed the Alps of America), the deepest canyon in North America, Oregon's largest grass land, wildlife (eagles, birds of prey, mountain goats), historic barns galore, ghost towns, abandoned mining towns, scenes vistas, the list goes on and on. A true paradise for photographers. You will learn to see more creatively through your camera, and how to use the camera as a tool. You will be given opportunities to experiment with composition, how to choose the right lens, and the importance how shutter speed and aperture affects an image and are used for creative effects. Most importantly, you will discover the different properties of natural light and how it affects your photographs.
Due to the remote nature of this workshop, participants should bring water and food.
I have been going to the Wallowas since the mid 1970's and have been leading workshops in the area since 2008. The Wallowas are a unique and beautiful place that I believe everyone should experience at least once in their life.

About the Workshop Area
|
Joseph, the best little town in Oregon. Just ask the locals! Often referred to as the "Little Switzerland of America", Joseph is a one-of-a-kind place rich in agriculture and history, nestled among some of the most outstanding geography you'll ever see, topped off by the breathtaking Wallowa mountain range of northeast Oregon.
The Wallowa Mountains (one of the 7 wonders of Oregon and known as "the Alps of America") are uplifted granite peaks rising as high as 10,000 feet.
The name Imnaha means "land ruled over by Imna"; Imna was a local Native American sub-chief. The post office in Imnaha opened January 4, 1885, but the town-site was not established until 1901; it was platted in 1902. Imnaha is the easternmost settlement in the state of Oregon.
Halfway, population 337 (which officially changed it's name to Half.com during the dot-com boom of the late 90's) is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and photographers. The town is located "halfway" between the communities of Pine and Cornucopia.
Gold was discovered in Cornucopia in 1884. It is said its gold ore was so rich nuggets would literally fall out the rock. Cornucopia has a meaning denoting wealth and plenty and the town was given its name by early miners who came from Cornucopia, Nevada. By contrast to other mining towns of the 80s and 90s, Cornucopia was somewhat orderly as it had few shootings and killings during its brief history. Many of its original buildings still stand despite the severe winters.
Hells Canyon, North America's deepest river gorge, encompasses a vast and remote region with dramatic changes in elevation, terrain, climate and vegetation. Carved by the great Snake River, Hells Canyon plunges more than a mile below Oregon's west rim, and 8,000 feet below snow-capped He Devil Peak of Idaho's Seven Devils Mountains.
