One of the early shoots on our southern trek was famous Bonaventure Cemetery.

From the official Savannah Website:

Bonaventure Cemetery was developed on the historically-significant site of Bonaventure Plantation. The peaceful setting rests on a scenic bluff of the Wilmington River, east of Savannah. The site was purchased for a private cemetery in 1846 and became a public cemetery in 1907. Citizens and others can still purchase interment rights in Bonaventure. This charming site has been a world famous tourist destination for more than 150 years due to the old tree-lined roadways, the many notable persons interred, the unique cemetery sculpture and architecture, and the folklore associated with the site and the people.

After spending much of the past several weeks sorting, viewing, editing, sorting again, viewing again, and whittling down, I’ve been able to find a nice collection of some of my favorite pictures from my recent trek with the Mentor Series to Savannah Georgia.  The problem with this trip is that I found I love so many of my pictures that I’ve decided to show just a small variety here now, but I will publishing complete galleries from the various shoots over the next weeks and months.  I hope you enjoy viewing the pictures as much as I did taking them.

I just returned from the amazing city of Savannah Georgia after completing another fabulous trek with the Mentor Series.  The city is full of amazing people, food,  and history.  I would like to especially thank our two mentors, Dave Black, who shared us his experience in light painting, and Bill Durrence, a Savannah native who provided a great history lesson in addition to great photographic tips.  I can’t thank them, and the other incredible photographers I met and learned from during the trek.  To get a taste of some of the various locations we visited, please check out this early gallery of some of our pictures.  More comprehensive galleries will be coming in the next week as we review the close to two thousand pictures we took during our weekend workshop.

If you are a photographer and want to improve your skill, make sure you check out the Mentor Series.  I can’t recommend them more.  I hope to see you on one of their treks in the future.
