A Wonderful End...

We were sad to see everyone leave, but the workshop was wonderful! I think we enjoyed it as much as our participants did. Our last day, we visited a beautiful walled medieval village with ancient wine cellars and a local organic farm where they make amazing sheep cheese, among other wonderful things. We had what was very nearly my favorite meal of the trip at the farm, which is saying a lot. And of course the adorable great pyrenee puppy- nearly 5 weeks old- won all our hearts! I think everyone was impressed by their own photographs at our "Greatest Hits" slide show.

Joel and I are now in Le Marche and hope to find some treasures to photograph in the area. We are going to a town celebration dinner tonight, which should be a lot of fun... and tasty of course.

Ciao!

Ah... the rolling hills of Toscana!

Here's part of our group shooting "the zig-zag road," which has become a symbol of Tuscany. It is a beautiful spot, I must admit! This was a fun day and we ended up having another wonderful dinner. Tomorrow morning, we'll shoot in the morning, then tour a sheep farm where they are famous for their cheese... we'll get some samples too!

Ciao!

Day 1

This morning we went out with the group to shoot sunrise over the Val d’Orcia. The weather was clear except for some fog in the valley which made for wonderful photos! I think we were all glad we got up early... We also took a guided walk through the town of Pienza (these are photos from our walk).

Tonight, we will visit a small walled village near Pienza and take a scenic drive on some country roads. Tomorrow will also be a busy day! Oh, and for the record, I did not take these two!

Ciao...

The Workshop Begins...

Apparently there has been a little confusion regarding the photos I'm posting to the site- they are all mine. I certainly have my own private tutor... and a good one at that :) but unless I state otherwise, the photos are taken by me.

All our workshop participants have arrived safely! We'll have our welcome dinner tonight at one of the best restaurants in town- more fabulous Italian food- with a sunrise shoot in Pienza tomorrow. I think we're doing enough walking because all of my clothes still fit!
