]]> A very lively group of workshop students spent a week in the sunny Italian lakes of Como and Maggiore. Our first few days were on Lake Como, photographing in and around the beautiful towns of Menaggio, Bellagio and Varenna. We then made a brief foray into Ticino, an Italian-speaking region in southern Switzerland with charming granite villages and towering waterfalls, after which we finished the week on Lake Maggiore, with a day spent on the famed Borromean Islands and the fantastical Isola Bella, which had been a part of the Grand Tour.

]]> A day or so of off-and-on drizzle gave way to a great week of sunny (if hazy) light for this lovely group of workshoppers. Starting in the lovely town of Menaggio on Lake Como, we used the efficient lake ferry system to make our way across the lake to the towns of Bellagio and Varenna, with their beautiful gardens and steep, angled streets.

After a few days and nights on Lake Como, we moved west to Lake Maggiore, stopping first in Ticino, an Italian-speaking part of Switzerland with towering waterfalls and tiny villages constructed from the plentiful granite of the region. Once on Lake Maggiore, we visited the famed Borromean Islands, once part of the Grand Tour. We ate well, we drank great regional wines and we had a whole lot of fun, all while making photographs that told the story of this beautiful Italian area.
