Fun stuff! Who knows we could have one famous photographer come out of this photography workshop, right here in SW Florida.

We'll work with models.  The first hour will be instruction, then two students will spend an hour with their model, the last hour will be critique and discussion. 
This class is already filling up so we are considering offering the same workshops on Tuesdays from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.  Is there any interest?  Let me know!
