AN Astro & Landscape Workshop Itinerary

~Moan NightScapes~

A 3 Night adventure in my home town!!!

Mission & Agenda

Moab is my home. I live here, in this awesome place and I want to show you some of my favorite places, both ON and Off-road! This 3 night astro-landscape workshop is timed JUST before the Nightscaper photo conference where I will be giving 2 presentations! Although the conference is based a couple of hours away in Farmington, New Mexico, rather than fight the crowds of workshops surely to be held, I thought we could visit some quieter locations, here in Moab! Our primary focus, Astrophotography with a side of landscapes in my redrock back yard and to make amazing and unique images! Join me for a guaranteed adventure! This workshop will partially be based off-road and for those portions we will provide transportation, you will want and likely already have your own vehicle to get around in your down time and if you'd like you can also drive yourself to and from our excursions.

The group will be based out of a spacious and luxurious Condo where you'll have youre own room. I find this to be a great way to promote camaraderie, friendship and foster inspiration while on these tireless trips!
