The Color of Cuba
February 01-08, 2012, Havana, Cuba

Havana is one of the most fascinating and beguiling cities in the world, a vibrant and complex blend of history, people, and contemporary culture. Little changed through the last half century; Havana today is undergoing a dramatic shift that will catapult it into a city that not only leads its country but the entire Caribbean to a new era of global influence.

During this unique people-to-people educational exchange program, Arthur and the participants meet Cubans from all walks of life as they move through their daily routines and at their special family events.

Arthur and two English-speaking Cubans are guides and translators for small groups as they go to a variety of Havana’s most intriguing locations including a trip to Callejon de Hamel in the Cayo Hueso neighborhood of Central Havana to engage with a local expert to discuss the Afro-Cuban religion known as Santeria. In addition, there are visits to several of Havana’s dance and music centers to interact with artists and discuss Cuba’s passion for the arts.

With your camera as your entrée into people’s lives, this exhilarating week with Arthur expands your knowledge of the inhabitants of the Cuban capitol city and opens the door to their quickly changing world.

The Color of Iceland
August 05-11, 2012, Reykjavik, Iceland
Here is an opportunity to photograph this exotic country while learning from a master of color. Arthur Meyerson is recognized as one of America's finest photographers who has traveled throughout the world, creating award winning advertising, corporate and editorial photographs, as well as producing an extensive body of personal fine art imagery. And, for over twenty years, he has been a highly sought after workshop instructor and mentor. This workshop/photo tour, designed for amateurs and professionals, focuses on documenting the extraordinary landscape, people and culture of Iceland. “For me, photography is a process of discovery. Not only a discovery of what you select to shoot but how you select to capture it. Through day long shoots, critiques and discussions, I will work to try and help you strengthen your sensitivity to light and it’s relationship to color, while also helping you create images that illustrate a “sense of place’. Iceland is a magical place and after leading a group here last year with Focus on Nature, I can’t wait to come back and do it again! Join me for what promises to be a photographic experience of a lifetime!” To view a video from last year's trip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smMZdtWRHw4 For more information: click here.
