By request photo tours

 

If you've longed to photograph somewhere not on the list above, let me know where that is as I also have other photo-itineraries to places such as Iceland, Japan, India, Zimbabwe and so on.

Even those destinations on the list can be customized for your personal or Camera Club and Photographic Society needs - longer, shorter, or itinerary changes - and at my standard rates if the group size is at least 6 people.

Send an e-mail if you're interested in having me assemble a personal itinerary. If you wish, I can then make it available to the remainder of my photography clients if it happens to be just one person, or if you request I do so.  Generally though, 3 or more photo travelers works best for everyone from an economic standpoint.

You can also purchase a Gift Certificate which I'll customize to the recipient's tastes.

John Baker,
Photographer-Leader
