David is an outstanding photographer and an excellent teacher who is very flexible in his approach. He is a knowledgeable guide with a great comprehension of the area. He took us to several different locations with wonderful views and opportunities to photograph a variety of beautiful areas. Plus he makes the experience so much fun. This was the highlight of our trip. We would highly recommend Journey in Common and would love to book another tour with David in the future.
The Sedona photo tour was very well organized. The communication before the actual tour was excellent. David, via email and text messages, provided a very detailed information on what to expect, how much and what kind of hiking is involved, how to dress. He very promptly answered all questions. Also, he provided a very up-to-date weather forecast. When we met in the morning before the tour, he again went over all the details and gave a brief intro into photography basics and, which is always very helpful, showed several images and emphasized on common mistakes in composition, lighting, etc. During the tour, David was very helpful in pointing to the most interesting views and suggested the best camera settings. And, there was lunch. It was really very good, again with attention to small details on presentation. The desert was delicious.
In addition to above technical details there was another very important human factor. David is a very personable man, easy to get along with and with great sense of humor. I really enjoyed the time we spent together. Al in all, it was a very well professionally organized tour with a great personal touch.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
