Take a Photo Trip!

Great Photographic Experience Awaits You

One of the best photography experiences I’ve ever had was traveling with a small group on a photography trip. A few years ago, I was searching the Internet for a travel photography adventure in America’s southwest.

I was pretty anal about the locations I wanted to photograph. I searched and searched, and spoke to many travel photography outfits advertised in Outdoor Photographer magazine and on the Internet. All but one didn’t seem practical for me. The one that did, was John Baker’s Travel Images.

John and I do not have an official affiliation, that is, I’m not getting paid for this! Just being honest with you, when I see good value for photographers, I’m going to write about it. This one’s coming from my heart. I had such a good experience, I wanted to fill you in on it.

Back to my story. I did call Travel Images, and John returned my call ASAP. We talked for a while, and I let him know what type of trip I had in mind, which nobody else was doing. I wanted first to hit the slot canyons in Northern Arizona, primarily, Antelope Canyon. I also wanted to spend time in Utah, mainly Monument Valley, Canyonlands, and Arches N.P. John didn’t have anything scheduled for that area at the time, but he asked me to give him a few days, and he’d come up with something.

What John came up with, was the Red Rock Trip. Two weeks in the America Southwest, pure photography. I was pleasantly surprised! Our time frame was August, and John proceeded to schedule the trip in between a few fall color trips he already had booked up with his photography clients. October it was. Thankfully, John was able to get a great group of other photographers to join us for the Red Rock trip, and rest is history (I’m still close friends with the people on that trip, as well as John).

Canyonlands National Park

John had scheduled a great two week excursion. A few days in Page Arizona, including Antelope Canyon. A few days in Southeast Utah, Monument Valley. Mexican Hat, Goosenecks State Park, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park. I was getting my Red-Rock-On! For two weeks, it was pure photography. Without John as a guide, I never would have known 1/2 the places to go at these sites, and what times were best for photography. It was money well spent to have a guide, just for the extra 100% photo-op’s it offered.

John is always mixing up his destinations, and he does have a very interesting variety of trips worldwide, often top photo destinations. Machu Pichu anyone? Nova Scotia? Yellowstone? Galapagos? John has them all. Not only that, he’s very experienced in knowing where and when to photograph sites in all of these world locations.

In summary, if you want to take that dream photography trip, strongly consider going with an experienced trip leader, who also is a photographer. You can view more at http://travelimages.com, and follow the links to get in touch with John, tell him I said hello!
