WOW! A client just sent this review of my workshop to me unsolicited!!! Review of Mark Metternich’s Wild for Light Workshop: Mark Metternich and his Wild for Light Workshop The Very Best of Oregon exceeded my expectations. I had never signed up for a tour of this nature before and I was not sure what to expect. The best description of Mark can best be summed up as an individual who is part photographer, part tour guide, part guru, part spiritual advisor and he excels in each of these individual areas. From a photographic standpoint his knowledge begins with the use of the camera, from capturing the digital image to extremely advanced post processing techniques. He does not disappoint. He is always willing to share his experience as it best applies to the situation. As for being a tour guide, Mark goes above and beyond in getting a group to the best spots at the best time. No one can guarantee the weather or a cloud formation but just going to places I had never been opened up my eyes to some truly awesome places in the American Northwest. (And I have more than a few stamps in my passport.) As for being a guru, Mark was able to take his knowledge of photography and tour guide and mix it into an experience where you feel like you have known this guy for a long time. Every where we went, people knew Mark or were wanting to meet him. I was not surprised after spending a few days on the tour and finding the whole experience quite affable. And finally, as far as a spiritual advisor, Mark truly has a deeper connection to the Earth and points beyond. After hours of uplifting conversation, I realized that even if I had chunked my camera into the water or over the mountain side, I would have enjoyed the experience of traveling with this tour operator just as much. While there are many photo work shop tours to choose from and there are many excellent photographers running them, I would not hesitate to sign up for another tour with Mark Metternich’s Wild for Light and see what other adventures await. And I will. Working with Mark was not just being on another tour; it was a chance to go beyond my comfort zone and see what the Northwest and Photography have to offer. Thanks Mark.
