Well the long wait is over, just got a call from a very excited, R.C. \u00a0I love how R.C. is always excited, this is a specials trip with some special friends. \u00a0Some time ago, I asked R.C. if he would do a workshop with Jim and I and he said, you bet!!! \u00a0I asked where he wanted to go, and he said he had never been to Monument Valley and the Golden Circle, I just smiled! \u00a0I’ve done that trip maybe 15 times and I know the area really well, I was delighted to tell him, “you bet”! \u00a0R.C. is one of those guys that you can’t help from loving! \u00a0He is a warm outgoing man who is always thinking of how he can make things better for those around him, the kind of guy that it’s so much fun just to be with! \u00a0As if that’s not enough Matt Kloskowski another great friend couldn’t stay away, and he will join us too. \u00a0Matt and I have done several trips together and he is a wonderful teacher, and people really enjoy him, he loves to tease, and cut up, and everyone really enjoys what I call the, “Kloskowski Stage Act!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then you have my incomparable partner Jim Begley, such a great shooter and such a wonderful man, a real joy to work with, and my goodness what work! \u00a0Jim is a fabulous photographer and has never met a stranger! \u00a0Then you have Snake Barrett and Chuck Barnes and my team is complete. Great guys, terrific shooters, and they love to take good care of the groups, I really love working with them! \u00a0This trip my son Wesley will return to a place he loves dearly, and we had many great adventures doing America From 500 Feet! \u00a0We will present a rare program for the group, Wes and I together reliving the wonderful project and sharing stories and rarely seen video from \u00a0the air of us flying for the book images!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This group is a great mix of old friends and new people we can’t wait to welcome into the His Light family. \u00a0One thing is for sure, we always have the best time, laugh hard, and we all, even the team, learn a lot!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ll keep you posted as we travel through out Utah and photograph some of God’s most amazing vreations!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n

If we are fortunate we will see a dusting of snow like the scene at the top in Bryce Canyon National Park!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
