Lumen Dei Tibet x 2
Posted on 06. Jan, 2010 by David in Blog, Lumen Dei, Photography, Tours
Lumen Dei keeps getting bigger. I’m excited to announce that we have not just 1, but 2 more Lumen Dei photo tours for 2010!
Both tours will be held in an amazing new location for Lumen Dei – the Tibetan Plateau – via a partnership with Plateau Photo Tours. These guys really match up well with our philosophy/style for the Lumen Dei tours and will do an excellent job running these tours.
The first offering will be Lumen Dei Tibet: The Heart of Kham, from June 18th-29th, and featuring Matt Brandon as the photo workshop leader/instructor. More details and online application can be found here. Spaces are limited to 9 participants.
The second option will be Lumen Dei Tibet: Yushu Horse Festival, from July 20th-30th, and featuring David duChemin as the photo workshop leader/instructor. More details and online application can be found here. Spaces are limited to 9 participants.
We’ll be handling the bookings and payments for these two tours, so send us an email for any questions related to that. For other questions about these tours please email Plateau Photo Tours. Also, please note that they’ll be off email for the next 5-7 days as they’re off scouting out further details for both tours, but can be back in touch with you soon after that.

Another Lumen Dei for 2010 Is In the Works
Posted on 10. Dec, 2009 by David in Blog, Lumen Dei, Photography, Tours
I’ve been busy this week working out details on an exciting new Lumen Dei photo tour we hope to run in April 2010. This one won’t be in Kashmir or Ladakh, but will go through Delhi, Varanasi, and then Haridwar for the massive Kumbh Mela pilgrimage.
There are still some things to polish up with the details and logistics, but I hope to be announcing the full details in the next week or two. In addition to being a totally new location for Lumen Dei, we’re excited about adding a new lead photographer – Gavin Gough. You can learn more about Gavin at his newly redesigned website, www.gavingough.com.
Joining Gavin as a lead photographer for this tour will be one of Lumen Dei’s co-founders, Matt Brandon. And if you don’t know Matt by now, you can check him out at www.thedigitaltrekker.com.
Stay tuned for news on this second Lumen Dei tour for 2010.
Lumen Dei Kashmir & Ladakh is Full

In keeping up with the popularity of the 2009 Lumen Dei photo tour, Lumen Dei Kashmir & Ladakh 2010 reached the full number of applicants in a mere four days. Wow, I’ll do business any day with Matt Brandon and David duChemin, our wonderful lead photographers for the tour!
If you missed out, well, we’re still keeping the applications open for a waiting list in case one of the original 8 participants needs to cancel. In fact, last year we had two participants who needed to cancel but we were able to quickly fill those spots due to others who had expressed interest in joining.
So if you’re interested in being on a waiting list for Lumen Dei Kashmir & Ladakh, go ahead and fill out the online application. Once we receive it we’ll let you know your place in line.
Update: the name of this Lumen Dei tour has been revised since we now are offering a second one in 2010 for the Kumbh Mela in April.

Posted on 10. Sep, 2009 by David in Blog, Lumen Dei, Photography, Tours
Tomorrow I’m heading down to Delhi to meet up with Matt Brandon and David duChemin prior to the start of this year’s Lumen Dei Photo Workshop and Tour. In addition to being great photographers, Matt and David are wonderfully fun to hang out with so I’m looking forward to my time with them.
This year’s Lumen Dei tour features a special guest instructor, Ami Vitale, and will once again go from the colorful streets of Delhi to the majestic Himalayan mountains of Ladakh. This tour has been sold out since the week it was announced, but you can still enjoy some amazing photos from Delhi and Ladakh by checking out Matt and David’s blogs in the coming weeks. You can find Matt’s here, and David’s here.
