Image Quest Photo Workshops

A Poem by Byron

I love photography! I've been good friends with Dave Wyman since our days in the UCLA Sierra Club in the early 80's. Dave has gone on to become a successful author and incredible nature photographer. He put together Image Quest, which conducts weekend photo workshops to beautiful places to teach the art of seeing and capturing dramatic images of nature. I've had the good fortune of co-leading or helping out on some of these trips, where I contribute my night sky photography skills as well as sometimes cooking up some tasty creations.

Check out some of my shots from trips below, all shot with the Minolta Dimage 5 digital camera until late '06, when I switched to the Minolta Dimage A1.
