Montana: The Photographic Beauty of Glacier National Park week long photography workshop

Hi Lisa,


Thank you again for posting my Acadia workshop on your blog last summer. There were at least two participants that signed up because they heard about it through your blog!

I will be working with John Galluzzo and the Mass Audubon Society again this summer. We will be headed to Glacier National Park in Montana for a week long photography tour! We will photograph the majestic Rocky Mountains, roaring waterfalls, glacial lakes, wildlife, and the famous Going to the Sun Road. We will also visit the Blackfeet Indian Reservation to learn about their culture and art. Even spending one night in a tipi!

I would be honored if you would post this workshop on your blog. I have attached a flyer that you may post or use for reference.

Thank you again for all of your help!

Sincerely,
Greg Lessard

Glacier National Park July 30-August 6, 2011


Join me for a week long photography workshop to Glacier National Park in Montana from July 30- August 6. This tour is in conjunction with John Galluzzo and the Massachusetts Audubon Society. Glacier National Park is considered by many to be the crown jewel of the national park system. It has also been nicknamed as "The Alps of the West."

We will visit the true West, photographing the best of what this magnificent park has to offer: majestic mountains, rushing rivers, placid lakes, wildlife and awe inspiring scenery. Glacier is a photographer's paradise, with a variety of opportunities for creating beautiful images. In addition to being driven to many of the parks highlights, we will do some short and easy hikes that will reward your efforts with stunning scenery. Throughout the trip I will offer lots of photography advice and teach you how to make truly outstanding images of the park. John will help us spot wildlife and educate us about the natural history of Glacier. Some of the wildlife we may encounter include: mountain goats, marmots, Columbian ground squirrels and over 250 species of birds. Glacier is also home to more grizzly bears than any other place in the lower 48. (Hopefully we will be able to spot some grizzlies from a safe distance.)

In addition to enjoying the splendor of Glacier, we will travel to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, where we will learn about their art and culture. We will also spend a night camping in teepees on the Great Plains!

John Muir was in awe of Glacier and its beauty. He wrote "Wander here a whole summer, if you can. Thousands of God's wild blessings will search you and soak you as if you were a sponge, and the big days will go uncounted. If you are business-tangled, and so burdened with duty that only weeks can be got out of the heavy laden year, then go to the Flathead Reserve; for it is easily and quickly reached by the Great Northern Railroad. Get off the track at Belton Station (Glacier National Park), and in a few minutes you will find yourself in the midst of what you are sure to say is the best care-killing scenery on the continent - beautiful lakes derived straight from glaciers, lofty mountains steeped in lovely nemophila-blue skies and clad with forests and glaciers, mossy fern waterfalls in their hollows, nameless and numberless, and meadowy gardens abounding in the best of everything ...."

If you are ready for an unforgettable, once in a lifetime adventure, sign up for this outstanding photography trip today! You can call the Mass Audubon Society at (781) 837 9400. For more details, read the excerpt below from the Mass Audubon website.
