As a working studio photographer it is easy to get in a rut photographically. My friend Kelly and I had been talking about participating in some kind of workshop for some time. I have attended a number of half and one day events but this is the first time I attended a photo workshop that was longer than a day. It is something that I have wanted to do for some time.

The workshop we decided to attend was a wild horse workshop put on by Rocky Mountain Photo Adventures. We stayed in the small the town of Eagle Butte South Dakota, and it was just a short drive to the location of our horse friends.

We had access to three different herds, one of them the Gila heard are genetic descendants of horses brought here by the Spanish. Our workshop leaders were Weldon Lee and Lori Huff. Lori is a friend of both Kelley and I. She was originally from our area and we've have known her a number of years.

For three days we got out and start shooting before the sun was up  until a bit before lunch time, then went and got something to eat. We went back to the hotel downloaded our images and had a critique session and maybe a nap. Later on we went back out and shot until after sunset.

It was a great experience and I met a number a great folks from different parts of the country. Well worth the price.
