The 2009 schedule with new
and exciting venues it is sure to please even the most discerning
bird and mammal photographer. We look forward to your participation!
We have hosted hundreds of
wildlife workshops around the world.
Chas has lead over forty bear (black, brown, polar) workshops to date,
and his extensive knowledge of bear and wildlife behavior translates
into better imagery for the participant. Knowing what to expect and
look for ahead of time can often make the difference between capturing
a mediocre image and the photo of a lifetime.
