As we focus on some of the best photographers in the industry and in their particular genres, it is with some difficulty that we focus on a photographer who has done so much to add to collection of images and shape the way we think about images from around the world as Steve McCurry (www.stevemccurry.com).  I was given his book Portraits (1999) as a Christmas gift one year, and I have thumbed through this book innume

The roadside photographs must continue, and an area that is best visited in the winter, spring, and fall is Tucson, Arizona. Flooded with snowbirds in the winter, people who move to the warmth during the cold months from the northern United States, Tucson sits in a fairly flat valley with the famous Saguaro National Parks on both sides.

I encountered my first real problems with power and digital image storage on a trip to the Everest Region in Nepal in 2006.  I knew I would be at least a week or two hiking without the luxury of recharging a laptop for image storage or having the ability to recharge my batteries.  There are several option for each of these problems.  Battery power is often overcome by photographers simply by purchasing multiple extra

 No one is denying that multimedia and filmmaking have become staples for visual storytellers.  Many still photographers have moved into a realm of shooting motion for clients as well as for their personal projects.  The workshops listed below range from a few days in length to a few weeks.  Most are for beginners and intermediate in multimedia, but you should also note that some are for advanced filmmakers and produ
