SOLD OUT!! Spring in the Sonoran Desert

THIS WORKSHOP IS SOLD OUT.

WORKSHOP LEADER:  JOHN PEDERSEN

Spring is an amazing time to be in Arizona, when spectacular wildflower blooms erupt, typically in late February and early March. This, in conjunction with the amazing Sonoran Desert Landscape, makes this workshop a special event.

Few locations and workshops can offer landscape, wildflower and macro photographical opportunities as in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. We will visit some of favorite (and some secret) locations during our time together.

Thank you for your interest in this workshop. My able workshop partner, John Pedersen, will be taking my place as Workshop Leader. John has been assisting me for 3 years now. He is well-schooled in the locations you’ll be visiting as well as a master “teacher” in the kind of photography we all enjoy.  He teaches the same way I do and offers additional viewpoints on photography that I think you’ll enjoy. I have total confidence and trust in John — not only professionally, but as a person. You’ll love having him leading your workshops. Bottom line, you are in the best of hands.

Thanks again,
Jack Graham Photography

WORKSHOP DETAILS

The Sonoran Desert is home to mountain ranges, lowlands, rivers, washes, trees, cacti and interesting colorful rock formations. Combine these features with the annual wildflower bloom and we can expect to use both components to make images available in few locations throughout the world.

We will also venture south to photograph the plants within Picacho Peak State Park. They include mesquite, palo verde and acacia trees; Crucifixion thorn, ocotillo, cholla, prickly pear and saguaro cactus. In good years, mexican poppies and lupine cover the hillsides.

Near Tucson, within Saguaro National Park, we’ll capture the icon of the Sonoran Desert — the giant Saguaros. These enormous cacti, silhouetted by the setting sun, for most of us depict the classic symbol of the American West. These majestic plants are found in only a small portion of the United States. Saguaro National Park protects some of the most impressive forests of these sub-tropical giants, on the edge of the modern City of Tucson.
