Non-photographing spouses or companions may attend the workshop free of charge. In the unlikely case that insufficient attendance requires that the workshop be canceled, the decision will be made two weeks in advance and all participants will be notified by telephone and their tuition refunded. The extent of liability of the Death Valley Workshop, the Wisner Company, Inc. or any instructors shall be limited to the return of fees paid for tuition by that date. After that date, if a paid participant can not attend for any reason, their payment will be applied to a future Wisner Workshop of their choice. We have arranged for group accommodations at the Furnace Creek Ranch in the Valley.
Participants are responsible for their own lodging and meals.
Be prepared for serious field work. During the day, even in the dead of winter, the temperatures can easily reach into the 80s. At night, the temperatures can drop dramatically, and especially outside the Valley proper, it can be downright chilly. Plan to dress in layers which can be removed as the day progresses. I also recommend that you wear shoes which are comfortable for hiking, because we will be doing some hiking to and from our locations.
