Thank you to everyone who joined workshops this fall, making it a success and, more importantly, truly enjoyable. From the cool stormy Oregon coast to the warmer-than-usual North Cascades, there was a little bit of everything. I finished up for the season a week ago, giving me some much-needed office time as I dream of snowy days ahead.

I want to call out my good friend David Cobb, with whom I have spent many miles on the road and shared lodging over the last couple of years co-leading workshops as I transitioned back into the workshop space full-time after a decade-long hiatus. It's been a lot of fun working with him, and I wish him the best as he starts to retire from workshops... but not entirely yet. We still have some together outside of the PNW coming up through 2025!

I was pondering a slightly different way of sharing a new photo regularly. While this isn't groundbreaking, I figured I would give it a go and see if it sticks. I will post a Photo of the Week on the journal page of my website, which I intend to post most weeks. If you want to get notified that a new one is posted please update your subscriber preferences at the bottom of this newsletter by selecting Photo of the Week. The forest photo above is the first one. You can read more about it here, including a personal story behind it along with photographic successes and challenges that came with taking and processing it.

2024 Workshops

There are some openings available for the 2024 Best of the Northwest Photography Workshops. For workshops that are sold out, you can always request to be added to the waitlist. I will be joined next year by wonderful co-leaders Sean Bagshaw, Michael Bollino, Zack, Schnepf, and Eric Bennett. Check out the website for more details and to sign up.
