We’re happy to announce our new workshop website, completely redesigned to better illustrate the workshop experience, provide a platform for educational content created at the workshops, and keep you up to date on the latest news in photography. Please take a moment to check out our expanded video and image gallery. We have plenty more video content in the works, so look for more updates coming soon.
We are working hard to finalize details for our 2010 programs and will have dates, locations and other information posted to the site shortly.

Everyone is looking to save money as this year moves forward with a stimulus emphasis. President Obama promises investments not only to get the economy going in the short term, but much of this spending as investment in future well-being. Rebuilding the infrastructure — bridges and highways now, but significant investments in education.
For many of us, investment in the future means investment in ourselves, for learning not only new tricks but time-honored career advances are built around experience and using the skills of others. Education prepares us for those days when the economy begins its return as it always does.
Education is personal investment.
And workshops provide not only that learning experience but the kind of networking that can be both useful now and becomes our personal spark when new opportunity is once again present. Spare time should not be wasted time — it can be a great opportunity.
And educational workshops are always tax deductible.

The spring 2008 Photography at the Summit will take on an additional element and flavor by using Photography as a Catalyst for Conservation. Â The International League of Conservation Photographers will be part of the event this year and will be holding their spring business meeting the day before the Summit opens. Â Many of their members will be part of the Summit including Michael (Nick) Nichols, Jack Dykinga, famed underwater photographer David Doubilet, Summit regulars Tom Mangelsen and James Balog. Â In addition to those photographers, we add top magazine editors Chris Johns (editor in chief of National Geographic), David Schonauer (editor in chief of American Photo), Kathy Moran (National Geographic) and the creator of the much-acclaimed and internet showcase for picture stories, Brian Storm of MediaStorm.
The workshop features will include “Workshops Within the Workshop” to include everything from high quality digital printing to flash lighting using the new Nikon SB800s, making digital workflow work, and basic digital photography using the new Nikon D3s and D300s. Â Early mornings include field trips into the foothills of the Grand Tetons to witness and photography wildlife as springtime comes to Jackson Hole.
The evening lecture programs will include speakers showing how great photographs are a most effective tool for making conservation awareness happen worldwide — this as so eloquently written in James Balog’s essay in American Photo magazine this past year.
All the elements of previous Summit Workshops will still be in place, but added will be the story of great photography in the name of conserving the world’s nature and natural resources.
