Utlakleiv beach. Last month I made my first trip to the Lofoten Islands in Norway for a pair of sold out photo tours.

I just returned from a great week in Sitka helping out David Middleton and Brenda Berry with another Crossroads workshop.

These workshops are for people who’ve already done the other kinds of workshops and are looking for something meaningful to do with […]
