“So we have all heard the expression “it blew my mind”. Well yesterday, I think my mind was blown by your fall photography workshop.
I can’t believe how much I learned, by what was said and demonstrated, but just by being in the presence of such talent. The most important thing I learned is that I am very close to being able to make amazing images (besides the ones I always called “my accidents”).
I just have to set aside my ‘capture it all’ approach and engage with more discipline and thoughtfulness. For what I paid, I feel a bit like I stole from you.
Because it wasn’t just the technical and artistic knowledge I received, but rather, I feel like I have been given the keys to an exclusive club I have been trying to gain access to for some years now. I think the confidence I received from the workshop is going to have a carry-over effect. So perhaps this feeling will wear off, or subside. But the gate is unlocked now.”
