I love this time of year because I’m finished for a few months!!!!!! \u00a0I just did 5 workshops and drove 6,346 miles in 7 weeks! \u00a0I’m ready for a break! \u00a0But what a great 7 weeks it was! \u00a0Jim Haverstock and I did the Badlands with a great group of 7 folks, then Jack Graham and I did our fall Road Show; The UP of Michigan, Acadia National Park, and then topped off the year with a Fuji Summit in the Great Smokies and then a second Smokies workshop! \u00a0They all went great with a ton of very nice folks, a great way to end the 2018 workshop year!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another reason I love this time of year is the thoughtfulness of some of our workshop friends! \u00a0Gale Stoner, one of my favorite guys out there, was kind enough to send me his annual photo calendar, this one was a collection of stunning flower images, I will enjoy it for the entire coming year! \u00a0Thanks Gale! \u00a0His work is outstanding!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will have several new announcements about workshops and one on one field opportunities with me in 2019, so please stay tuned. \u00a0You can see more on mine and Jack’s stuff coming up next year at: \u00a0 \u00a0jackgrahamphoto.com<\/p>\n
