As we wind down towards Christmas and the start of a new year, I thought I'd throw out a quick note about what's left for those of you interested in joining me on a wildlife photography tour or photo workshop next year in 2013.
I currently have one spot that's just come available (due to a cancellation) on one of my most popular photo tours, the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Photography Tour from May 8th-16th in the world famous Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary.
Now I would love to show you the thousands of amazing images I got on last May's inaugural trip to this magical valley of grizzlies and wolves, but the truth is that every time I look at the folder-upon-folder-upon-folder of images to edit, I get bogged down trying to sort through all the gems. I have managed to edit one measly folder from the first two days of shooting, so here are a few that you may not have seen yet:

I think this is one of the most spectacular trips I offer, so if you're interested in scooping up that final spot for May 2013, please let me know right away.
I also have a few spots still available on my August 2013 landscape photography workshop in the stunning Bugaboo Mountains of British Columbia with CMH Summer Adventures. If flitting about in a helicopter with me taking photos of beautiful mountains, hiking in flower-filled meadows, and relaxing back in a 5-star luxury remote mountain lodge is your idea of a good time, then I'd highly recommend you grab a spot on this trip while they're still available. Both 2011 and 2012 sold out.

And finally, I've still got a few spots available on next October's Jasper wildlife photography workshop. This year we had a ridiculous amount of snow (it snowed every single day), but in normal years we usually have a combination of snow and no-snow locations where we can go to try to photograph bighorn sheep in their rut, as well as elk, moose, deer, mountain goat, and even bears and wolves.

If any of these spots interests you for next year, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Have a wonderful holiday season everyone!
