Traveler's Eye Workshops: A mobile school for photographers

The fortified town of Orvieto occupies a tower of volcanic tufa on the road between Rome and Florence. Within the walls of the old city, no cars are allowed. On a pedestal help up to the sky, the city moves at a slower pace than much of the rest of motorized, industrialized Italy. My friend and colleague Richard Sennott proposed that we start a photo workshop in the town, using the San Lodovico convent as a base. The medieval cloister has frescoes thought to be painted by Michelangelo, the food is traditional Umbrian peasant fare, the rooms simple and clean. So, Traveler's Eye Workshops was born. We're running our first trip June 13, with two more to follow in September. The September trips are filling up fast.
