Notes From Monterrey, Costa Rica
The first Arenal Eco Adventure Photo Workshop is in the books, and it was better than I could have hoped for. Of course I wanted to help the attendees improve their photography on the trip, but I wanted them to have an experience beyond what they would see through their viewfinders. We had nearly perfect weather [...]

Friends of DphotoA
I wanted to take a second and mention the companies that support our workshops. When I was looking for sponsors for the Arenal Eco Adventure photo workshop in Costa Rica, it was important to me to work with people and products that I am proud to recommend and represent.

Guest Post: A Canadian in Costa Rica

Arenal Eco Adventure Preview, Day 3: Tico Farm Tour
When I was putting together the schedule for our September photography tour in Costa Rica, I looked for excursions that would give our students a real feel for this beautiful country. That’s why I am so excited to take our students on the Tico Farm tour.
Workshop Notes: Montezuma Costa Rica Canopy Zip-Line Tour
In case you haven’t been to Costa Rica, there are zip-line facilities EVERYWHERE. I have done the Sky-Trek near Arenal a couple of times, and it is always a great time. We wanted to take the students at our spring workshop in Mal Pais to have this exhilarating experience, so we took the whole gang over to Montezuma Sun Trails canopy tour.
Success in Costa Rica. Pt. 1
The Edge of the World crew had a wonderful time in Costa Rica this past week. I think the students had an equally great time as well.
On Thursday (3/4), I took a few students to Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve, near Cabuya. We stopped a few times along the way. Take a look at some of the scenery and the students at work.
Notes From Mal Pais, Costa Rica
Mal Pais may mean “bad lands”, but it’s one of my favorite places in the world. This little town on the Pacific coast was the venue for our first “Edge of the World” workshop in Costa Rica. Jesse and myself had five photo students and Kevin Chambers taught a sculpture class to six students.
The weather was great for us. Highs in the low 90′s and lows in the 70′s; fahrenheit, that is.
Gearing up for Costa Rica
It’s getting pretty close to March, and that means our photo Workshop in Costa Rica, and that means getting our gear together and putting it on a plane or two. I thought I would share a few thoughts about what I’m bringing, how I’m carrying it and some things you might need if you’re joining us.
Make the most of your next photography workshop
You never know what can happen at a photography workshop. A few months ago I went to St Augustine, Florida to attend a workshop taught by Rick Sammon. Before I left, I joked with my wife that Rick and I would hit it off and be good friends. I won a contest the first day [...]
