Location

Bandon, Oregon is a small community with a big history. It boasts some of the most beautiful coastline available anywhere. Our motel sits high above the ocean and you can photograph from your room's balcony making for some pleasant evenings. We will also visit Shore Acers and surrounding areas just north of Bandon for some absolutely amazing rock formations right on the coast. You will find this region to be breathtaking and we will most likely spend at least two days photographing the area.

Workshop

The workshop is open to all formats (color and/or b&w) and experiences. It is a "creative" workshop so everyone should have a good understanding of the basics of your particular equipment. We will concern ourselves with the creative side of the art during our photo sessions and discussions. Discussions, presentations, portfolio reviews and "lie telling" will take place during the evening and/or mid-day hours. We like a family atmosphere so we invite your non-participating spouse, companion, and etc. tuition free. All non-participations are welcome to join any and/or all of your sessions.

Please bring your portfolios to share with the group, your equipment, your creativity and leave your troubles at home for this exciting week of photography and fun. You will not want to miss this workshop! Be prepared for a surprise or two.
