Photographer Gives as Much as he gets Hi Patricia--Thanks for reading my blogs. I've added photos for a number of the "field notes" but it is such a pain. I've been posting them on www.donlyon.zenfolio.com which is easier to access and has a higher quality presentation. But now that I know someone (you) is actualy reading these notes--I'll pay better attention! Thanks again! Don
Iceland July 2011 Hi Cathy--thanks for your comments--yes, Iceland is a special treat. Just breathing the air is wonderful. I'll be returning with a small group in July--the best time for good weather and nesting puffins! See my web site www.cuephoto.com I hope you will join me! Don
Sadly... Dear Donald,
Just a quick note to rectify an innocent mistake on your part re the the 'rebranding' of the Singing Tree Cafe to the Peace Cafe - this false information is flouted by Tom and Maureen and regrettably tells very little of what really happening. It is too long and ugly a story of partnership gone awry, but the bottom line is that the Singing Tree Cafe has now moved to a much smaller downtown location but still very much alive (see our website www.singingtreecafe.com). We want nothing to do with this couple who were our friends and took advantage (and still do) of our goodwill... If you want more details email me I do not wish to have a mud fight in public but it is highly unfair they use our name and pretend they are the direct link/continuance to the Singing Tree Café’s spirit - nothing could be further from the truth.
For trees - Michael
Iceland this July Hi Cathy--thanks for your comment. Good timing as I return with a small group on July 1 for two weeks. Act quick and you can join us. I also have trips to Yellowstone and Indonesia in 2009. Burma, Galapagos Islands, Greece, Cambodia, VietNam are all being considered for 2010. The key in choosing a photo tour or any tour is a leader who knows the area, is dedicated to his/her clients and who is sensitive to the nature and culture visited.
When IS this trip going to go again? Wow -I never had an interest in going to iceland but after reading and seeing these images, I'd like to find out when/if you have another trip to Iceland scheduled.
Where else would you recommend for a small group style travel - sounds like that's what you specialize in.
Thanks!
Close-Up Expeditions is my baby, born in 1979 of my passion for exploration and learning about this exquisite globe. I've photographed in over 120 countries and lead 3-5 photo workshops each year. I'm interested in using my images to urge people to be proactive about protecting our environment and especially about acknowledging and protecting those traditional cultures that do play by Mother Nature's rules. When I'm not leading photo tours, I'm lecturing and restoring my circa 1895 farmhouse in rural Oregon.... full info

I'm curious. You're a photographer, yet you never post any photos. I'd love to see some.
