NANPA Summit

The NANPA Summit this year was held in Denver and I thought it one of the best yet. The weather was pretty decent all week. Sat in on a terrific seminar on creative photography, taught by Tony Sweet. Also attended Rob Sheppard's How to Write Magazine Articles - another very good one.

I was ready to plunk down $1k for a panoramic setup and new Arca-Swiss-style clamps for my two tripods, but neither Kirk, nor Really Right Stuff showed up this year, so I walked away with a Canon 5D (full frame 12.8 megapixel) digital body and a couple lenses instead. Hunt's just made me an offer I couln't refuse!

It was fun meeting many old friends and making new ones. Next Summit will be held in Palm Springs, so mark it down on your calanders.

Returned from Arches/Canyonlands and NANPA Summit

I just returned from the Moab area where we toured around some good friends from Canada. We made several trips into Arches and the Island District of Canyonlands to photograph. The routine was get out on location before dawn - shoot sunrise - return for breakfast - head out again (with wives this time) for more shooting and scouting - stay long enough for the sunset - then return for a late dinner. Then repeat! Although temps were on the cool side, we had a great time shooting - and no crowds! Pictures will be posted soon.

From Utah, we headed back to Colorado Springs to spend the next morning shooting in Garden of the Gods Park - then headed up to Denver for the week to attend the NANPA Summit. This one was one of the best ever and will deserve it's own article.
