Or let's say if you wanna get a chance to meet Ed Kashi, Lynn Johnson, Mark Edward Harris, Antonin Kratochvil, Douglas Kirkland, Frank Ockenfels III, Jock Sturges, Nels Israelson, Vincent LaForet, David Fahey, Glen Wexler, Jeff Dunas, Joel Meyerowitz, Mary Virgina Swanson, Sherrie Berger and many, many more, let's say this is definitely the place to be !

I took a look through the list and my mouth watered at some of the classes - the Joel Myerowitz "The Search for Identity", Visual Storytelling in the Digital Age with Ed Kashi, Lighting the Dramatic Portrait with Nels Israelson (I heard great stuff from an assistant who used to work for him), and I would love to do the portfolio review but alas my financial advisor (my wallet) tells me not this year....perhaps next ^^
