PODAS is a exceptional workshop hosted by Phase One, a high end medium format photography company. The workshops are offered throughout the year and are held in special locations worldwide. The first event of the year was offered in San Miguel de Allende, a small colonial city in Mexico rich with history and more recently art.

The workshop is full immersion into the world of improving image quality by using awesome equipment with some of the best instructors in the photography scene. We were treated to day trips into historic Spanish silver mining areas and side trips behind the walls of San Miguel street fronts. In a word about the workshop: “awesome”.  Check out the Phase One workshop website: http://www.phaseone.com/en/Workshops/PODAS.aspx

The workshop consumed most of a week and we elected to stay over and continue to enjoy the location for a second week. That gave us the opportunity to take shots in and around the city and take in more of the great restaurants. It was a pleasure living in a city that welcomes tourists and provides a great venue for photography. We will be back!
