About Travel Insurance
We strongly urge you to purchase trip insurance that features a "Cancel For Any Reason" provision and have assembled a few sources here. We have no affiliation with any of these companies.
About traveling spouses/companions
For domestic workshops, non-photographing spouses and companions are more than welcome at any of my workshops with no extra costs other than those associated with park admission fees or guide fees. Occasionally we won't be able to accommodate traveling companions in all activities due to space constraints.
For international trips, traveling companions will be subject to the full cost of the tour or workshop.
About Lodging
Unless otherwise noted in the individual workshop or tour write up, you, the participant, will make your own hotel reservations. I'll pick a hotel and arrange group rates and will provide, upon registering for the workshop, the group name so that you can call the hotel and make your reservations.
This way, if you want to arrive early or stay on after the workshop, you can more easily make those arrangements.
About Transportation
With the exception of major tours (Iceland, Patagonia, and Yellowknife, for instance), or unless otherwise indicated in the workshop or tour write up, transportation during the trip is the responsibility of the participant. During workshops we highly encourage, and will facilitate, carpooling.
