Some Images from The Great Sand Dunes Workshop

What a terrific class we had for our first "Great Sand Dunes" adventure in southern Colorado.

A big THANKS to each of the talented participants:  John Crews of Santa Fe - Richard Hebhardt of Juneau, Alaska - David Levy of Santa Fe / St. Louis, MO - Charlie Lieberman of Agoura Hills, CA - Sanjiv Patankar of Ridgewood, NJ - Lindsey Segundo of Palm Springs, CA - and Harold Willens of Alanson, Michigan.

And a special THANK YOU to Dottie Lopez (Santa Fe), our terrific class coordinator / assistant, and to the staff of the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops for their vision in making it happen.  Also a Thank You to Chief Ranger Jim Bowman and the staff at the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

The class endured extremely long days (starting at 6:00 AM), cold temperatures, sand and icy water, adventurous dining, extensive driving and riding, and "me" ... And everyone was part of the "team" without exception.  An exceptional group for sure.

I thought you might like to see some samples of the images they created.  I've put together a simple gallery for you to view.  The images are only samples from their portfolios, in no particular order.  The photographers' names are in the "title"..

Let me know if you have any trouble viewing the gallery.

The GALLERY LINK IS ......

Sand Dunes Weather Check

With only a couple days left before the Great Sand Dunes: Capture to Print workshop, I wanted to do a quick post about the weather forecasts for Alamosa, the Great Sand Dunes National Park, and Santa Fe.

Alamosa, CO:

The highs should be range from 68 to 56 degrees with lows in the low 30's. 

Great Sand Dunes National Park:

The highs should be range from 69 to 56 degrees with lows in the mid 30's. The skies should be clear for us with a chance for some clouds.

Santa Fe, NM:

The highs should be range from 74 to 70 degrees with lows in the low 50's. 

It looks like we should have some great weather with warm days, some warm coffee should help us through the  cold mornings. This is a great time of year to be at the dunes and I look forward to going up there soon!
