Questions?
Can we simply photograph with our cell phones? Of course you can. We’re all snapping photos with our phones. Processing software is become more advanced. Use your creative eye and travel light with your phone.
I need a nap or some downtime during the day! We all do. I find it hard to be creative if I’m tired. All trips are designed around free time during the middle of the day. Some trips have entire afternoon free to visit museums, shop, or process photos.
What if I can’t keep up? We work around your physical abilities. Be upfront with us and we’ll work with you. Let me know if you need to stay at the hotel for the day. Tell me when you need to take a taxi back to the hotel versus walking with the group.
Comments from Participants
“I much preferred the tips on photographic technical things and composition while we were out shooting. I get more out of that. (Kathy) has such a terrific knowledge base of photography, travel, and nature.” E & M
“We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you and Willy. We’ve both been impressed with how thorough you are and how you make sure no one is neglected. If our health holds up we’ll definitely see you again in the near future.” T&P
Questions?
Can my non-photographer spouse join us? Of course! In fact this is common. Our destinations are interesting to most people. Spouses, siblings, friends are always welcome to join you on our adventures.
Are young children allowed on the trips? They are allowed but we usually don’t have them. I’ve had people bring a grandchild along or a gap-year teen. Small children need a different experience to have fun.
What about meals? We have amazing meals. Some meals on the trips are planned. Other times we go out to eat on our own. I often ask folks to join me at a neighborhood restaurant. We never starve.
