What to expect
We will camp in the group
campsite at Cottonwood Campground near the
southern entrance to the park. Those
who tent camp can stay in the group site.
Those who have RVs can get a spot in the regular
campsite nearby. The weekend will be
filled with fun, fellowship and fotography.
Not to mention the good food of course.
Itinerary
Friday night is informal
as people arrive and get their campsites set up.
Everyone brings snacks and we sit around talking
photography, making new friends and catching up
with old.
We get Saturday off to an
excellent start with a sunrise shoot nearby and
we'll continue shooting throughout the morning.
Early Saturday afternoon we'll have some
presentations back in camp. I try to find
an interesting and inspirational guest artist to
show and discuss his or her work. The rest
of Saturday afternoon is filled with hikes or
just exploring the park. Saturday night is
the famous potluck dinner where we all show off
our outdoor cooking prowess.
Sunday morning it's time
for another early rise to catch another pristine
desert sunrise. The rest of the day is
pretty informal with people getting a bit more
shooting in, breaking camp and heading back
home.
All meals and
transportation are up to each participant.
As I mentioned, we'll have a pot luck dinner
Saturday night. This is always a great
treat. The tent campers can camp in the
group site. The spaces are available on a
first come, first served basis. RV campers
and any overflow tent campers can camp in the
regular sites, just 2 minute walk away.
Cottonwood is an
especially nice campground. The group
facilities are first class and, unlike the other
campgrounds in Joshua Tree, we have running
water and flush toilets. So by Joshua Tree
standards, it's really deluxe
Because we are
limited in the number of people who can attend
everyone attending needs to send in a
registration form and sign an assumption of risk
form. To download the forms click the Sign

We offer a nice variety
of photography workshops in beautiful locations
throughout the Southwest. For a rich
photographic experience with an emphasis on
great photography, personal attention and
both technical and creative growth come on out
and join us.
