Thank you again for creating and leading the "Autumn Spectacular" workshop in Mammoth.   I was able to experience for the first time how a real professional chooses a site, works the site, creates a vision, uses the light, composes the image and applies the correct technique to capture the image in accordance with the vision. Both you and Margaret created a friendly environment which maximized the learning experience.

There are things that no one can teach - You can! There are places no one knows - You do! And all that is wrapped in a friendly and effective attitude! What else can we ask for? I'll be happy to join future workshop should my travel plans coincide with them.
Thank you very much.

To appreciate the Sierra Nevada range’s jaw-dropping beauty, drop by Vern Clevenger’s gallery  in town. (Mammoth Lakes) His color photos (prints start at $149) of nearby canyons, lakes and mountain vistas are ubiquitous around town, as is the man himself. Vern’s scruffy yellow jacket and unruly hair have been a familiar presence at Mammoth since the early ’70s. He is a modern-day version of Ansel Adams, who more than anyone put this corner of California on the map.

Art Festivals

Discover the fun!

Art Festivals are special venues. They are often outdoors and create a "gallery" where kids are welcome. Food and good wine are always close by. But most of all, they are a community of art lovers sharing a great day together.

Discover the fun and return with an investment.
