Ernesto Bazan Workshop - Easter in Sicily

I recently returned from an excellent 10-day Ernesto Bazan WorkshopEaster in Sicily. The eleven participants in the workshop came from Italy, Germany, Poland, Turkey, the Netherlands and the USA. Ernesto's colleague Juan De la Cruz and assistant Carlo Cislaghi also added to the workshop. 

The workshop was based in Marsala and we photographed in Palermo, Marsala and Trapani. The daily editing and critiquing of everyone's images, with input from all, was one of my favorite aspects of the workshop. The camaraderie and friendship in our group grew every day and was amplified by the wonderful food, wine and weather in Sicily.  We also got a chance to see a copy of Ernesto's newest book Al Campo.  This was my third workshop with Ernesto and I look forward to more in the future.
 

After the workshop, I spent a week in Naples and a week in Rome where I continued to photograph. I plan to have images from my trip to Italy on my website soon.
