Hi Jeff,
Welcome to Spirit of Photography. Yes, we will be conducting another photography workshop in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks in Fall of 2011. The workshop is already more than half full, although I haven't posted information on the website yet... (I'm still waiting on the final lodging prices.)
We will be doing essentially the same workshop as in 2010, starting in Grand Teton National Park and then moving up to Yellowstone National Park for the 2nd half of the workshop. We have in-park lodging already reserved at Signal Mountain Lodge in Grand Teton NP, and in the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone. The workshop will begin on the evening of 25 September in Grand Teton NP (we'll try to cue the bears so they meet us at the lodge again
) and will end on the morning of 2 October, with participants checking out of Old Faithful Inn that morning.
I'm delinquent on posting the workshop announcement for 2011, but am waiting for the final lodging prices to be announced before I can finalize the workshop price. The park service typically doesn't approve the new lodging rates until March. We're estimating that the cost will only be a minor increase over last year's workshop. Last year's prices were $1355 per person (double occupancy) which included seven nights of in-park lodging. Because rooms are limited, we highly encourage "double occupancy," (all rooms have two queen beds) however a single occupancy rate is available at an additional cost of $750 per person. Last year the workshop was limited to 8 participants; however, because we already have 6 photographers that have reserved slots for 2011, we're considering raising the limit to 10 participants for 2011.
Hopefully this information answers some of your questions.
Welcome to Spirit of Photography. I'd love to see some of your images, and hopefully you will find time to participate in our weekly assignments.
