I was chatting on the phone this morning with my friend and workshop teaching partner Dennis Ducklow, as our Photographic Workshop is fast approaching. As we discussed plans, we both realized how pumped we were to be soon heading out across the Chilcotin Plateau to Bella Coola to start our 5th workshop at the Tallheo […]
