Every off-season I make a point to attend a photography workshop in a new location. Last year I spent a week in January at Nirav Patel and Ed Peers' workshop in the Marin Headlands of San Fransisco. You can read more about that life-changing experience here. 

This year, I flew out to the Los Padres Mountains (two hours north of Los Angeles) for Ben Sasso's FOSTER Workshop with Benj Haisch. Afterwards, I spent five days with best gal pal heading up the coast to San Fransisco. Can you tell I am a big fan of this part of the country?
