Over the summer, I attended a workshop on the water with Onne. We spent approximately 5 hours in Newport Harbor/Narragansett Bay on a 50' converted lobster boat (M/V Gansett) shooting 12 metre sailboats, lighthouses, and other great subjects. I had a great time and learned a whole lot.

I highly recommend attending one of his future workshops. Thanks to Onne, Kristin, Kelly and the rest of the crew for putting it together. More info on Onne and future workshops can be found
