How You Can Join Me in Ireland! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When and I did our scouting trip in Ireland this past year, I was blown away by 2 things:How many photo spots there are.How few photographers seem to be out.In fact, I’m not sure we saw more than 2 or 3 tripods the entire trip.

What do you get when you mix the world’s most biodiverse area and the world’s most impressive waterfall?The best photography trip on the planet.Brazil is so underrated it’s not even funny. Everyone knows about the Amazon. BUT, the real wildlife destination in Brazil is The Pantanal.
