I cannot wait for our group s next adventure together. I will be waiting anxiously to hear from you. I have been a hack photographer for years. Mostly shooting pictures of personal trips. I couldn't pass on the opportunity to work with one of the greatest out- Diana Frost, United States. door photographers of our time. And, ironically, despite his incredible success and talent, he is not only one of the most humble men, but willingly shares his knowledge so that I, among others, could grasp his passion. And regardless of It s been a fantastic trip you and Chris have my experience or my equipment (or lack thereof), he showed me how to gradu- done a really great job as normal! ate from simply taking a picture to creating a story with a photograph. When Zoe Davies, United Kingdom. others were being lectured by their photo guides, Chris asked us what we learned today, praised our successes and suggested how to make our not-sosuccessful shots better. When opportunities arose, Chris put us first - always. And only when we felt comfortable with the shot did he take some of his own. There were no textbooks, no classes, no lectures. There were experiences that were captured and lessons learned from those experiences with Chris's guidance. Andy Fish, United States. First up... just wanted to let you know how much the boys, Pete and I enjoyed our time at Lake Clark National Park with Chris. He is an awesome tour leader, and a lovely guy to boot.
