"Seek your own vision, and create great photos!"

Latest Updates — April 23, 2024

For the latest list of workshops and dates, always first check the calendar page where you will see notes of workshops sold out or nearly sold out. This should be your go-to page for that information.

• We still have a couple of spots open for Many Faces of Charleston, so please consider joining me. Not only are there plenty of varied photo ops, but the food in Charleston is amazing!
• There is another Online Photo Workshop starting June 9. These are always very popular since no travel is involved except around your own area.
• Maine was hit by two terrible Nor'easters last winter, but I have secured a great hotel for Summertime on the Maine Coast, and our group is returning to The Monhegan House for Monhegan Isgland, Artists' Paradise. Join me for one or both workshops.
• Dakota Badlands is a first for BCPA, although I have been there a number of times, and it is mostly full, with two spots open.
• Lake Garda & the Dolomites filled up almost instantly, but Paris, City of Light is still open. Remember, TBC speaks pretty fluent French and has known this city for over 60 years (YIKES). She knows it well and will show you not only some of her favorite haunts, but will take you to some very interesting galleries and museums as well as some great restaurants and cafes.
• We have put Autumn on the Outer Banks back on the calendar. A perennial favorite, there is always something different to photograph. In fact, we have had many alumni return several times becuase the tides change, the light changes, and the patterns are always evolving.
• Meanwhile, BCPA regularly makes arrangements with people to help them with business, pricing, or Lightroom and other issues through Consulting along with Mentorships for serious photographers who want to take their art to the next level, perhaps with a project in mind. A recent Mentoree has several upcoming exhibitions of work largely produced during his mentorship.
• Tobacco Sheds & Barns proved to be such a success, even being added to the calendar at the 11th hour, that I will be doing it again next year, probably a little later, but still in the spring.
• Since BCPA is a small company, it cannot cover costs for people who choose to not get travel insurance, especially for overseas adventures. For information and matters pertaining to COVID, check out our COVID Prep page along with links to Travel Insurance that can now, with certain plans, cover COVID, emergency evacuations, and other possible travel challenges for most people

General Updates

Many thanks to all you who find gremlins that I missed. What a welcome help that always is! After all, I am a mere human; therefore, I err!

In addition to the workshop updates above, new galleries for workshops are periodically being updated, both past and present, so take a look. There is even a gallery for Alumni Winning Images.

For those who neither wish nor are able to travel, BCPA has run a number of online workshops via Zoom since April 2020, both Photo and Lightroom. It has been a life-saver and a lot of fun for people who have signed up and made some really impressive images within or near their own four walls. Keep checking the calendar for updates.
