Friday November 4th & Saturday November 5th, 2011.

Robert Dawson and the Pt. Reyes National Seashore

The Marin Coast is a land with a fascinating past and a timeless present, a land of hills, cliffs, beaches, and coves that is rich in history and startling beauty. There too may be found some of the most interesting geology that can be readily seen anywhere along California's spectacular coast. The varied plant and animal life will make for many photographic possibilities. We will tour and photograph the exquisite open environment of the area and will also examine the photographic work of the workshop participants.

We will spend Friday evening meeting at the historic Launch for Hire near Inverness on Tomales Bay. Here we can get acquainted, talk about the area and begin to look at work. The early morning light in the beginning of November will draw us to the landscape in Pt. Reyes National Seashore. We will visit and photograph several natural landscapes and historic points of interest. At mid-day we will meet again at the Launch for Hire to continue to look at work and have lunch. As the afternoon light improves we will again visit many sites of extraordinary beauty. At nightfall Saturday we will have dinner together at a local eatery.


Instruction will be given in all camera formats and students will be given a variety of approaches to the landscape, plant and wildlife, and history of the Marin Coast. Workshop members will have the opportunity to have their prints or slides critiqued by the group. Although we will drive to most sites, some hiking will take place so workshop members should be prepared. This is a landscape that demands to be seen on foot!
