Outdoor Photographer November Issue

The November Issue of Outdoor Photographer has several means of expression for me.  The cover is Fitz Roy, Argentina.  A breathtaking view in this special place called Patagonia.  See page 20 for a description.

Next, OP Contributing Editor, Mark Edward Harris, has written a “Workshop Diary” article that describes his experience when he joined up with Jay Goodrich and me on the China workshop this year.  This is very helpful for people to get an idea of the daily rhythms that go on during a workshop.  There is a lot of work and learning that goes on amid the shuffling between hotels and transportation and meals.  It is really great fun.

Finally, I see NIK Software is running an ad for Silver Efex Pro 2 with one of my B&W images from Huang Shan, China.

I’d say I was pretty well covered for November.  Thanks, OP!
