I had a great time, this was my second trip with Liz and it was well worth it. You get access to locations that the public does not have access too: Grand Central and Ellis Island to name a few. If you want to see New York City in a different way, with other like minded photographers then sign up for the next trip, you won’t regret it. Just make sure you bring good walking shoes!!!
I am a repeat customer for this NYC workshop. Several of the locations on the itinerary are not the usual NYC sites and that is one of the reasons this workshop is distinctive, as well as spending quality time with fellow photographers. In addition to having special access to some sites, the workshop is divided into multiple slices, and allows one to hone their photographic skills of night, low-light, landscape, macro and street photography, to name a few. With the photo playground in the city that never sleeps, one enjoys lots of exploring, lots of imaging, and lots of fun.
Never a dull moment on this adventure! I went last summer and was impressed by the variety of sites, wonderful accommodations and excellent itinerary. Some of the highlights for me: Coney Island, The HighLine, old painted signs tour, “secret” Grand Central Station. Great group and a fun time. Good value too!
Hi there to all, the contents existing at this web page are actually remarkable for people experience,
