Photography Tour Overview:
From Washington DC to Boston, Massachusetts, via Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Cape Cod . . . a grass roots photography trip of the American eastern seaboard. Photography locations will include Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, plus harbors, and lighthouses as we make our way to Cape Cod. Along the way there will be many additional photo ops and historical perspectives in the region where modern American history began. As with all of our photography tours, early and late shooting is scheduled for each day.

We'll kick off our Eastern Seaboard Icons photography tour at 9:30 am, and head out to photograph a cluster of iconic buildings and monuments that represent over two centuries of American history.
