    I think this would be an amazing. I have recently been thinking about what the next step is for me, and I really don’t have any good direction to follow. This workshop has everything in it that I think might put me in that right direction. I would love to be picked.

Otherwise, I would LOVE to have this opportunity to learn more about how to use my Nikon to take pics of my kids and family. Lighting is always a tough area for me. Good luck to all of us!! :o )

    I just finished my “30 things to do before I turn 30″ list and one of the items is “attend a photography workshop.” It would be fantastic to go to this workshop not only because I live just outside of Seattle, but also because I use strobes for most of my sessions and have wanted to learn to work with natural light.

    I recently mustered the courage to take the calculated risk of begnining my own photography business – this year! It’s an exciting and scary time and I am determined to succeed. Attending your workshop would help me hone my skills (and boost my confidence!) to be the very best phtographer that I can be. Oh, and PS, it’s in Seattle, which would be a very cool place to visit. :) Thanks for considering me for your pick!

    Ooohhhhh just saw that you were giving away a seat on luxecetera. Sign me up for the contest please! I’ve put a lot of effort into attempting to learn off camera lighting, but I often overlook what is right there in front of me. I can’t wait to step it up in this department. It would definitely improve my portraits.

    March 4, 2010 at 3:21 pm

    I’ve always had a passion for photography, but have been too scared of leaving a more “stable” job to pursue it as a career. I could really use something like this to give me the confidence to just go for it. I’m a big believer in “what’s meant to be…” I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.
