Workshop Itinerary

Hotel Accommodations: Once you sign up for a workshop, I let everyone know the hotel we are staying at, usually a few months before the workshop. Of course you may opt to stay at your own arrangements. People usually stay before or after the workshops so it is just easier for people to make their own housing plans. Attendees also travel from around the world so flight plans are different. However, some people who live in the same area often travel together.

Monday- Arrive and meet for dinner for all those who can make it. Meet in Lobby 6:30pm

we are having so much fun. Sometimes we all meet back at a central location
and start editing our photos or many times we find a cafe and hang out talking
for hours and enjoying the good life.

Note: During photos sessions, students are encouraged to show me their work as they shoot so I can critique, offer suggestions, give praise and help with compositional choices.

Usually the bonds between our group are so strong, it is hard to say goodbye
and we value the very last minutes being together. We realize how much we've
helped each other with our journey to living our dreams and the friends that
we have made around the world are people we want to keep around us all the time.

Group Dynamics

Workshop attendees are very passionate and are serious about learning. Yet we like to have fun too- we enjoy and appreciate life. I am amazed on the quality of person that attends, I can attribute some of this because of the cost of attending one of my workshops. It is a substantial investment to come and the price filters out those who are not completely serious and this make a huge difference in the learning experience with the workshop. When a highly motivated and passionate group of people get together, it is pure synergy. When you come to a SR workshop for the first time, not only is your learning increased but you don't realize how much you learn from others and what a joy it is to be around quality people who are passionate about photography and life and who dream the same kind of things you do!
