Birds, Birds & More Birds: Join Me in Florida This March 🐦

I’m excited to share a special photography experience I’ll be co-leading next spring—one that’s all about birds, behavior, and being fully immersed in the field.

Birds, Birds & More Birds Photography Retreat

📍 Florida
🗓 March 8–12, 2026

March in Florida is one of the most electrifying times of year for bird photography. It’s peak breeding and courtship season, when colonies erupt with color, movement, ritual displays, and new life. Feathers flare, mates dance, chicks hatch—and the opportunities for meaningful, dynamic images are everywhere.

I’ll be joined by fellow OM SYSTEM Ambassadors Steve Morello, Lisa Cuchara, and Tom Cuchara for this immersive retreat designed to inspire, challenge, and elevate your photography—regardless of where you are on your creative journey.

This experience blends:

  • Thoughtful fieldcraft
  • Creative vision and storytelling
  • Modern camera techniques and computational tools
  • And most importantly, time in nature with mentors who genuinely care about your growth

Whether you’re hoping to capture dramatic birds-in-flight, intimate moments between parents and chicks, or the subtle beauty of courtship behavior, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

What to expect:

  • 🟣 8 carefully chosen shooting locations
  • 🟣 2 hotels
  • 🟣 4 experienced ambassadors
  • 🟣 All skill levels welcome
  • 🟣 Any camera system welcome

Like all OM SYSTEM Retreats, this is about more than settings—it’s about creativity, community, and learning to see more deeply.

Bhutan

A couple of years ago I visited Bhutan with a few fellow photography friends. It is one of the most beautiful places I have had the pleasure of visiting. It is located in the Eastern Himalayas and is bordered by Tibet & India. Bhutan does not measure their success by gross domestic product, but by a happiness factor and, as such, it is noted as one of the happiest places on our earth. From a photography perspective, I found Bhutan to be one of the most beautiful and colorful places I have ever seen.

Shortly after my trip, I did I did an exhibit of my images at the State Theatre in Easton, PA. The image sizes were 48″ x 36″ and 40″ x 30″. I mention this because I often get asked, can you make large prints with the Olympus system (all images were shot with the E-5). I can tell you, without hesitation, the answer is YES.

The following is a sampling of some of my favorite Images:
