Let
you spirit mingle with bands of wild horses - tails and manes flying in the air
- as they thunder across the open plains of South Dakota.

prairie dogs, white-tailed deer, and a variety of bird-life

Itinerary
Day
1 (Sunday) - Arrive in Eagle
Butte, South Dakota, no later than 5 PM, at which time we will gather for
dinner. Following dinner, everyone will receive instruction on photo techniques
and a briefing on the next day’s shooting lineup.
Day
2-4 (Monday-Wednesday) - Each
morning, sunrise will find your viewfinders filled with breathtaking images of
the symbol of the American West ─ the wild horse. Sometime during mid- to
late morning hunger pangs will eventually overcome your desire to capture the
perfect image and force you into town where you’ll feast on ham and eggs.
Following your usual mid-day classroom session and a brief nap, it’s back to
work. After all, you did come to photograph wild horses. Only after the sun has
gone down will you return to town, seek out your favorite watering-hole, and eat
supper. One thing’s for certain, the images made this week are sure to be show
stoppers.
Day
5 (Thursday) - There’s
no better way to end an adventure than by returning to where it all began ¾ the
open prairies of South Dakota, where you will have one last opportunity to
capture those images missed earlier in the week, thank your subjects for the
many photo opportunities they provided, and bid them farewell. Once the shooting
comes to an end, everyone will return to town in preparation for departing for
their homes across the country, but not before enjoying their last breakfast
together.
