We have been touched and gratified by the many thank-you notes and comments
we have received from our participants, to wit, these from Maine Coast & Lighthouses:
"I
can’t thank you enough for making this workshop as fun as it was enlightening.
There were days where my cheeks hurt from cracking up. I also can’t
stress enough how our time spent in New Harbor has brought me back to
how I used to approach “making” photos with film. You’ve reawakened
senses long forgotten and the reasons that I fell in love with photography
in the first place. I’ve already scouted a few areas along the South
Shore and as you promised, I’m seeing things for the first time in places
I’ve photographed for years. Again - I can’t thank you enough."

"I
just returned from the Maine Coast & Lighthouses workshop. I am not
sure what was better, the photography and instruction or the humor and
camaraderie. It is hard to eat and belly-laugh at the same time!
"I had about an eight hour drive
home on Sunday which provided plenty of time to reflect on the workshop
experience and distill many thoughts down to the "meat," as
Arnie says. For me it came down to this.
" The advice, guidance and encouragement
you provided helped push the envelope of my creative comfort zone, thereby
enlarging that zone and as well as helping to remove the cobwebs from
my vision. When we are encouraged to look beyond what we immediately
see that attracts our eye photographically, that experience comes into
play the next time we go and shoot and enables us to take a wider view
of creative possibilities.
" I like to use analogies. This reminds me
of the physical joints in our bodies. When young they are flexible,
with a wide range of motion. As we age, that flexibility and range diminishes.
If an effort is made to stretch and extend that range through exercise,
it may pay off in improved use of that joint. So, following that thinking,
you are a fitness club for creative vision ;-).
"Thanks
again for a great time. I loved it."
Ross Attix,

"We
really loved our week with your team. Let's say that we are enthusiatic
about getting better! And, I am sure that next time, Marie-Jo will be
a student.
"Thank you again!"
François Parent,
Québec, Canada
"I
hope you're safely back in North Carolina. I feel bad that I was unable
to say good-bye to you. Nonetheless, I want you to know that I had
an amazing experience at the workshop. I learned so much, and on top
of that, had so much fun. I look forward to taking another workshop
with you... You all are very special people.
