Captain Jeffrey and Christine Smith will be joined by photography instructors John D’Onofrio and Alan Sanders for an hour of conversation, stories, and open Q&A. This is your chance to ask anything — about the workshops, the boat, the destinations, or what it’s really like to spend a week photographing Alaska from a small ship.
