Real World Peru
|
Experiencing the spiritual wonder of Machu Picchu, sampling the local food, walking the terraces between 500 year old Peruvian saltpans, sharing a laugh with an older native woman at the weekend market — a trip to Peru is an adventure for the culturally inquisitive photographer. Enjoy 9 days and 8 nights in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, joined by photography group leaders, Dan and Jill Burkholder, led by an experienced guide who knows the country and people of Peru.
Every day and evening will be filled with photographic opportunities. Any digital camera is welcome — from DSLR to Mirrorless to iPhone — as long as you have a way to get your images onto an iPhone or iPad for viewing and editing.
We’ll enjoy a lightweight, modern approach to our image making with photo critiques and classes open to iPhones and iPads. That’s right, you can leave your laptops at home because it’s better spending your time making photos and memories rather than trudging through Photoshop and Lightroom. You’ll discover the joy of editing on your iPhone during lunch or on your iPad in the middle of the night. You’ll be amazed at what you learn as you shoot and process the modern, compact and lightweight way — a dream for the travel photographer! Dan and Jill will be at your side providing photographic knowledge, experience and a light-hearted approach to sharing friendship and making memories during this uniquely South American journey.

Harry Sandler On Sept. 2, 2017, the photography and music world was devastated to lose Harry Sandler after a courageous fight with pancreatic cancer. We thought Harry would be making this trip with us and we know that he would be thrilled that such a great group of travelers will make the trip in his memory. Anyone who knew Harry will tell you that he lived a life dedicated to adventure, love and friendship. He was one of a kind.
