do you ever do tours in the winter? i live on bainbridge and it would be fun to photo the market in winter light and with less people traffic. how many people would you need to do a tour?
Nancy, to do a special tour we would need at least four people, but we could arrange something. We don’t do tours in the winter because the weather is unpredictable.
