"Hi Tanya and Dan: The 2011 Kenya safari was everything we expected and more. The guides were extraordinarily knowledgeable and skilled. We still cannot figure out how Henry found the baby Leopard hiding in a thicket! We took almost 6,000 images and have just reduced them to about 1200. Cannot imagine a better safari. Thanks to Tanya for putting together a great trip and Dan for his photo instruction. We look forward to joining you on safari in India next year."

"Dear Dan and Tanya: Thank you for a diverse and interesting trip. I loved the morning mountain sunrise shoots, particularly enjoyed the guanacos and penguins and wished I had a longer lens to capture their faces. The glaciers were amazing and thank you, Dan, for not scolding me when I was the last one to return to the bus. It was a wonderful trip, interesting people in the group and enjoyable conversations and new friends. Hope to join you in the future for another wildlife expedition!"

"it was SUCH a great trip! Paul thoroughly loved getting to travel with you two and said he really learned so much. He's super excited about photography in a new way. Thanks I always love getting to see you guys and it is SUCH a joy to be able to travel with and learn from you both! Can't wait to see you again in a few weeks for Machu Picchu!"

"I really loved our Patagonia expedition. From tango dancers in Buenos Aires to the gaucho at El Chaltén; plus the incredible wildlife and scenery it was an incredible experience. Have been to Patagonia twice now and would love to go back with Dan and Tanya. They made the trip more than just a "shooting trip"; great dinners, great places to stay and wonderful camaraderie. I can't wait to go back again... The Best!!!"
Tom Dietrich, Wyoming
"The Kenya expedition was magical and this is the first time I have ever used that word to describe a photo trip. Amazing, incredible and fantastic just were not good enough words. The people of Kenya are some of the nicest and proudest people I have met. I was so impressed with their emphasis on animal conservation. The photo opportunities were boundless. Of course, Dan and Tanya were outstanding hosts and we had a great group. I have learned so much from Dan over the years and Tanya is absolutely the very best at what she does. To me, the highlight of the trip was when Dan organized a trip to the bookstore so we could purchase books for a Masai school as the need for that is great. This is a trip that will never be forgotten. I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful trip."
Fred Kurtz, Indiana
"I want to thank you for the most inspiring trip I've ever taken. Africa is forever in my heart & soul. It was more fabulous than I could ever imagined. And thank you so much for all the hours of preparation and the sweat & worry that I'm sure went into the trip. It was glorious..the accommodations were fabulous (love the elephants on my veranda!), the food was scrumptious (thanks for the extra lbs!) and everything was smooth and relaxing. I really liked the photo instructions too...learned alot from Dan and the others. It was a very fun group! Thank you for everything and I hope to join you again soon."

"Canadian Rockies - OH My!
Elk and moose on the loose
Snowy peaks through skies sneak blue
Glacial lakes for goodness sakes!
A memorable trip in so many ways - food, sights, friendships and accommodations"
Margie Carroll, Georgia
“My wife and I visited the Canadian Rockies in 1998 and I took “Snapshots”. Twelve years later, we visited the Canadian Rockies again and having been on previous trips with Dan and Tanya, my photography has improved by leaps and bounds. The images were spectacular. This was an amazing trip with lots of incredible scenery. My wife, being a non-photographer, was made to feel very welcome and we met lots of new friends and got to see friends again from previous trips. Dan and Tanya do an excellent job and we can’t wait until the next trip.”
Fred Kurtz, Indiana
"Anyone who joins you on the Mala Mala - Londolozi photo safari is in for a treat. What an incredible itinerary. Doug and I spent our first safari at Mala Mala and saw our first leopard there. And Christmas in Londolozi. Wow! Tom Emri and the Varty couple Shan and Dave were wonderful. We both came home with loads of very special photos and memories. We only wish we could join you on your tour. Bummer! I know you and your fellow photographers will not be disappointed."
Jan Baldwin
"Prepare to be amazed and overwhelmed with the natural beauty of the Pantanal and the incredible diversity of the wildlife. The food is great, the people are great and all of the logistics were executed without a hitch. Dan and Tanya have this trip dialed in!"
