Two other photographers have joined me in the creation of a new Internet site devoted to photography and travel.

Photo Travel Review will present articles about photography and travel, list photographic seminars, tours, and workshops, review seminars, review equipment associated with photography and travel, evaluate tour companies, and provide others the opportunity to write articles as guests.

The idea for the Internet website grew out of our frustration about finding one place where one could go to explore opportunities for doing photography and improving our skills. There was no Internet website that gathered this information into one place. So, Photo Travel Review was created.

I hope you take the time to visit the website and provide me with feedback regarding content you would like to see posted there. As well, if you would like to write a photo travel article, let me know, we are looking for articles about remote locations throughout the world.
