I'd like to start by wishing you and your family a very happy and joyous holiday season. This is my favorite time of year, filled with family traditions and social events, its a time of year to take assessment of all the good things in your life and let the people closest to you know how special they are.
It's finally starting to feel like winter around here as we've finally seen some cold weather, rain and even some fog the last couple of weeks. I'm planning on taking a few trips to the snow over the next couple of months and create some new winter images, I can't wait.
Merry Christmas,

Workshops a big success!
Group Picture from the Yosemite in Fall Workshop
In my last newsletter (back in September) I was just getting ready to launch the first of my in-the-field workshops with my one-day sessions in both Mono Lake and Yosemite. Well, I'm excited to say that both the October 3rd workshop near Mono Lake and the November 7th workshop in Yosemite Valley were huge successes, both selling out quickly.
Both workshops were wonderful, filled with great people and beautiful locations. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
The next in-the-field workshops on the schedule are my 2010 weekend workshops and they'll off to a great start with the February Winter in Yosemite workshop almost already sold out (there's 1 spot left).
If you're interested in attending any of my upcoming workshops you can find more information in the workshop section of my website.
Workshops Gift Certificates
With Christmas right around the corner a gift certificates would be the perfect gift or stocking stuffer for any photographer. Gift Certificates can be purchased for a particular workshop or open ended with a workshop brochure so your special photographer can choose whatever workshop they'd like to attend.
To make sure everything arrives in time for Christmas an email version of the Certificate will also be sent to you just in case they don't make it by mail in time for Christmas.
You can purchase a gift certificate online via my website by clicking here, simply select the workshop you'd like to give, or gift certificate if they'll be making the decision.
Note: If you're selecting the workshop just be sure to add a note requesting a certificate in the note section.
You can also place your order over the phone at 209-541-1815.
Major Price Reduction on All Fine Art Prints
Leading up to my three consecutive shows this summer I announced a price reduction on all my fine art print as a celebration of the shows. Well, sales were more successful than I anticipated so I've decided to make the new price reduction permanent. Now is the perfect time to either start or add to your collection or upgrade your home and office decor as some sizes have been reduced by as much as $300!.
People tend to think that buying art is expensive but it really isn't, hand signed and matted prints start at only $200 for an 11x14, that's less than most mass produced copy art sold at frame shops and mass retailers.
Standard Sizes
11x14's were $250 now $200
16x20's were $325 now $275
20x24's were $500 now $350
24x30's were $700 now $500
30x40's were $1000 now $700
Panoramic Sizes 12x24's were $350 now $275
15x30's were $500 now $400
20x40's were $700 now $600

I try and get out and create new images as much as possible, if you see me on the trail or teaching a workshop be sure to stop and say "Hi!" Here are a couple of upcoming trips.
