Winter Wonderland IV – FULL

For the past three years, we’ve been selling out our only winter workshop which we labeled Winter Wonderland (we know it’s corny but it’s true). Starting in Jackson, Wyoming we spend a week exploring and photographing the breathtaking landscapes and very accessible wildlife (bison, elk, coyote, moose, trumpeter swan, bald eagle) of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Come join us for an exciting week of photography!

Workshop Description: Join professional photographer and former instructor of photography at Troy University, Donald Norsworthy; Great American Photography Workshops host and accomplished wildlife photographer, Ted Keller; and professional guides/outfitters; on an adventurous “in-the-field workshop” photographing grizzly bears and other wildlife along the western coast of Cook Inlet in Lake Clark National Park, Alaska. Located approximately 125 miles southwest of Anchorage on the west side of Cook Inlet, Lake Clark National Park is a huge pristine wilderness, composed of rugged mountains, volcanoes, lakes, and diverse wildlife. Except for a few small coastal properties grandfathered for private ownership when the park was established in 1980, the entire park is virtually undeveloped and is inaccessible by road. A small lodge on one of these private properties will serve as the base for this exciting GAPW workshop.
