May 16 - May 22 2007
Umbria iis considered Italy’s green heart. Being also Italy’s most rural region, Umbria is Tuscany’s wild cousin with jagged rock formations and snow-capped peaks. The birthplace of St. Francis makes this province Italy’s mystical heart as well, and this becomes quickly evident with the hundreds of churches and monasteries scattered on the hilltops, grassy valleys and within the confines of the medieval towns.
VENICE TOUR - A PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERIENCE (6 participants)

Nov 09 - Nov 16 2007
By popular request Richard will return to Venice in November 2007 to lead a photographic tour – but this time with a twist! Impressed with the prints made by Venetian photographers at this time of year, Richard has chosen to explore the city of canals in November in order to take advantage of the atmospheric mood and quality of light, which comes with the mist and colder weather of late fall.

The emphasis is on creating photographs which evoke and stimulate our imagination. There are no rules, only possibilities. We'll explore the tools and techniques to push back the boundaries of the medium. Creating romantic techniques such as double exposures, sandwiching images together, movement, multiple exposures, film selection, lenses, filters/diffusion materials are all examined.
