Itinerary

Friday August 22, 2014

We will meet a 6:00 pm  at my studio/classroom to get acquainted and then have a evening photo shoot to get images for the class.  After the photo shoot we will go and eat as a group.  This is an optional part of the class, if you cannot make it on Friday that is fine, just bring images to work on during the class.

Saturday August 23, 2014

Meet at my Studio/classroom at 9:00 am to begin the classroom presentation. We will break for lunch around 12:00 and can eat as a group or it can be on your own.  After lunch we will continue until around 5:00 when we break for dinner.  After dinner I will be available and you may return to work on skills learned during the day or have the evening to do other things.

What is Included

All classroom instruction and personal attention to insure a positive class experience.  Hours of hands on actual use of the information provided, this is not just a lecture, it is a learn buy doing experience.

Snacks and drinks during breaks.

What is Not Included

Transportation to and from the workshop, lodging, meals, incidental expenses and items of a personal nature.

My philosophy on lodging and meals is that by not including them in the workshop each participant is free to choose their own level of accommodation and choice of meals.  I have some participants stay in high end motels, while others prefer camping or RV’s.  If these items were included in the workshop fee, it would simply be increased to cover the expenses plus a margin to be sure I did not loose money.

Meals are not provided, and are the responsibility of the participant.  We will have the option of going and eating meals as a group,  during which we can continue our discussion, or you may have meals on your own.
