"I dream of rain.
I dream of gardens in the desert sand. I wake in pain.
I dream of love as time runs through my hand.
"Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise. This desert flower,
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this sweet desert rose.
This memory of Eden haunts us all.
This desert flower, this rare perfume is the sweet
intoxication of the fall."

The Place
Death Valley, at more than 3 million acres, is the
largest National Park in the contiguous United States. From
Telescope Peak (11,049 foot) on the west to Dante's View on
the east (5,475 foot and offering a vista of nearly all of
Death Valley), the park features spectacular desert scenery,
unusual wildlife, and is an area of great geological, historical,
and cultural interest to many. Badwater is the lowest point
in the Western Hemisphere (282 feet below sea level). The
average high temperature during the day in November is a very
mild 76 degrees, followed by cooler nights at around 50 degrees!
This is the dramatic landscape we will find ourselves visiting
this November, during the Full "Frost" Moon - to
photograph the nocturnal beauty of Death Valley! We will photograph
around Furnace Creek Ranch, and such sites as the Ghost town
of Rhyolite, Zabriskie Point under the light of the full moon,
and the majestic Sand Dunes near Stovepipe Wells, near the
north end of the Park.
Tuition & Schedule
Tuition is $595 - with pre-registration no later than
September 1, 2008. The daily schedule for this three-day Workshop
which was recently reviewed in the
LA Times, runs from 3pm to midnight - and later! This
includes slide lectures and discussions of technical considerations,
before we go out to photograph.
Participants are responsible for their own lodging and meals
- though we have arranged for group accommodations at the
Furnace Creek Ranch, an oasis in the heart of Death Valley
- call (760) 786-2345 to make individual reservations, and
be sure to mention The Nocturnes Photographic Group when booking.
Camping is available at Furnace Creek as well, but you need
to reserve early.
