I think we might have another at some point, but we will probably change things up just a bit. It will most likely be a 1 day class, but a long one, or a two day class with a bit shorter hours. We are also thinking about bringing in 1 or two top pjs to critique and give assignments and then critique the assignments. Anyway, I will def. let you know.

The Workshop was fabulous. It felt good to be pushed a bit out of my normal comfort zone...I wasn't used to having to get the names and other info to get the captions. Very hands on the first day - diving in and doing several shoots...and very career/business the 2nd day - what it takes to get into the PJ business...and be good at it. Thanks Leslie...Thanks Todd. You guys were great.

(Kinda wish the workshop was on Sunday and Monday....it would have been great to cover all the flooding with L and T.)

Thanks so much! Yeah, we could have actually covered a high water rescue and a ton of other stuff. I was sort of kidding when I mentioned that on Saturday, but I knew Denton had a tendency to flood a lot. Looks like the main flooding, and unfortunately possibly a few deaths, happened in Gainsville which is pretty close to Denton. We could really have went head first into the pj thing.

Watching the flooding news coverage on TV, I kept automatically thinking what kind of shots I'd want to get...unique subjects....angles...foreground/background...layers, etc, and what questions to ask to get that perfect caption - Everything you talked about in the workshop.

Yeah, good job!! You are well on your way! I can't wait to see your images from something you cover.

Hi Leslie - -

I hope you are thinking of doing your workshop again - hopefully in Houston. From what I have read, your workshop is something I need.
