It may be cold outside right now, but Cherry Blossom season will be upon us before you know it. On Saturday March 31, 2012 Washington DC will be hopping with activity and I'll be holding a one day photo workshop for photographers of all skill levels. Hotels are filling up quickly so it's recommended that you register now. Do it before January 31st and pay $450, a savings of $50. The workshop is limited to five participants to ensure everyone receives personalized attention. I hope you can join us for a memorable day of photography instruction.

SUNRISE CHERRY BLOSSOM SHOOT 6:00 am - 9:00 am
Historically, the Cherry Blossom trees are at the height of their beauty in late March. To take full advantage of the golden morning light, we will meet at 6am for a sunrise shoot. There, we will create memorable photos of several historic monuments framed by magnificent Cherry Blossom trees.
LUNCH and PORTFOLIO REVIEW 12:00 pm - 2:30 pm
At noon, we will re-gather for lunch (included) and a portfolio review session in a comfortable lounge. You will receive in-depth feedback and helpful advice on your images, post-processing technique, and more.
SUNSET and DUSK 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
As the sun sets, we will photograph the numerous monuments and memorials in the National Mall. To maximize the magic light, we will continue shooting into dusk, creating breathtaking images along the way.
