"Be prepared to work hard, but the rewards are phenomenal.  You will walk away knowing that you "stretched" your photographic mind beyond your wildest expectations.  You will pinch yourself each time one of the superb instructors gives you their undivided attention.  They give so much of themselves and their talents; true teachers in every sense of the word. ." - Becky Swift, Santa Barbara, CA

"Single best educational experience of my life.  My head was reeling with the possibilities which are now in front of me.  Brought photography to me in such a way that I can really begin to use it in my life." - Don Estes, Minneapolis, MN

"To get that level of honest, constructive criticism from photographers and editors of the caliber represented was unbelievably helpful.  I especially appreciated that the instructors didn't bother to stroke our egos with un-earned praise.  They told it like they saw it and hearing what they did not like in the images or what didn't work was worth an awful lot to me.  I think my editing will be much more careful, and my photography should improve as well as I consider the comments made as I compose and make new photographs. Just do it!  You are unlikely to ever have such an opportunity to learn so  much from multiple photographers/editors of this caliber, and the networking possibilties are not to be missed" - Steve MacAulay, Seattle, WA

"Yes!  Very good workshop for the amateur photographer thinking about doing professional work and/or honing their skills by working with professionals.  Also, Jackson Hole, WY is a great place to take photographs!" - Martin McCleery, Saint Paul, MN

"This is the perfect workshop for beginners as well as more advanced photographers. Everyone learns! No one is left behind and everyone will go home with valuable information and feedback. In most of the other workshops I've attended, either beginners are left behind or the more advanced students get bored" - Laura Williams, Tuthill, SD

"I got what I paid for in this workshop - I got to spend 5 days working with and watching the best in the business ... the bonus was that they knew how to teach. I have now shared in the experience of what it's like to be that good. My vision has been articulated in ways I didn't imagine and I am fully aware of the commitment and just plain hard work that is required. Chance favors the prepared photographer." - Dave Stephenson, San Jose, CA

These sessions were touching and fascinating." - Keith Cohn, San Francisco, CA

"The quality of the program is beyond question. The number of noted instructors stunned me. Most positive were how accessible the instructors were. I valued highly the reviews and critiques for candid, honest review is essential for me. But perhaps the most important thing I took were new friends and contacts. It is inspiring to learn from so many dedicated people." - Ken Carl, Chicago, IL

"The opportunities for learning and growth were amazing. On the technical level, I was able to experiment with equipment that I would have not otherwise had. But of course, the greatest opportunities came from the case of players. The integrity, candidness and enthusiasm of all truly astounded me. Where some artists might be less willing to share, these teachers expounded on both the technical and personal levels. Their desire to teach, to team and to share was a true inspiration." - Christine Bouvet, Avon, CO.

"From the outset I was expecting a challenging and extremely professional workshop, but I was completely knocked off my feet with the whole experience upon completion. The professionalism, ability and patience shown by all your staff, industry attendees and faculty members were phenomenal. The patience and truly genuine nature of the faculty is a mix that is really unique. I can now understand the large numbers of participants that return 2 or 3 times over the years.Not only was this a great learning experience, but it was inspirational to myself and many others that I spoke too. Photography apart, this was a really great bunch of people and it was a pleasure to be part of the whole experience." -Kenneth Todd, South Africa
