The rich and varied landscape of the wild backcountry near Bear Mountain Lodge, adjacent to the Gila Wilderness in southwestern New Mexico, will provide the classroom for photographer Michael Berman as he guides participants to see "the two kinds of landscape that interest me: vast empty desert and the intimate landscape that you need to get close to appreciate." Participants will have the opportunity to photograph The Nature Conservancy's preserves.

In addition to the field work, the workshop includes a slide show, lecture, and studio visit. It is designed for beginning and intermediate level photographers who have a good working knowledge of their cameras.

Includes: 3 nights lodging and all meals and $50 donation to The Nature Conservancy
