We have been touched and gratified by the many thank-you notes and comments
we have received from our participants, to wit, these from Cascades & Wildflowers of Virginia:
"Chris and I awoke early this morning prepared to catch the wonder soft light and scenery you showed us. To our surprise it was bright and sunny without a cloud in the sky. We packed up and headed home!!!!!
"Once again, thanks for the wonderful week and memories. Chris and I had a terrific time. (Cheeks still hurt) We especially liked the part where we got to know you a little on a personal level. That was very nice. You are two wonderful people. "
And soon after...
"My
wife and I just returned from the Cascades and Wildflowers of Virginia
workshop. What an incredible experience for two retirement photographers.
Margo and Arnie do an exceptional job of scouting locations to insure
a well-motivated customer while they gently teach and enhance your photographic
skills. Each location was perfectly suited to teaching the day's lesson
or technique. Class sizes are designed to allow the instructors to provide
the maximum one-on-one personal attention to each student's needs. They
have an uncanny eye for seeing what the student needs, in both the field
and the lab, and guiding that person into creating the image they
saw in their vision. We came away with a greatly enhanced knowledge
of working with light and how to effectively make the subject of the
image the "hero" it
was intended to be.
"In addition to all of the above
and the countless other photography-related knowledge we were taught,
we met two of the best people one can ever meet. Margo and Arnie are
truly skilled and excellent instructors, photographers, and artists.
However, they are exceptional human beings as well. They bring their
professional and personal lives to the workshop in such a fashion that
puts the student totally at ease. Learning is so much easier when you
are in such a frame of mind. What is amazing is that their passion is
not only photography but also about life and the many people they meet.
"Great locations,
expert knowledge, and truly wonderful people. How could one better spend
a week chasing Cascades and Wildflowers in Virginia!"

"Mary
and I had a great time, and we enjoyed meeting you and Arnie. We are
looking at our schedule to see when we can fit in another one of your
workshops."

"Thank
you for a wonderful experience! You guys are warm, friendly, funny,
patient, and very knowledgeable in photography. I learned so much in
the four days of the workshop, and I know I will never see the same
way again! I was inspired and loved the mountains of Virginia, but most
of all, I loved the company!! Everyone was great! I hope to do another
workshop soon! Please keep in touch when you stop for a moment."

"I
learned more about how to make a good photograph in three days of a
Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventure workshop than I had in the previous
five years of reading and experimenting on my own."

"Phyllis and I both enjoyed the workshop immensely. I truly did not know what to expect, but the workshop far exceeded any expectations I may have had. I was also thrilled that Phyllis found that she enjoyed photography, and I was much appreciative of the reception that you guys gave her.
"I learned so much, but I am sure my retention will need refreshing. I thank all of you for spending so much individual time with me, I certainly did not expect this. I hope to take workshops in the future... Phyllis even suggested that after she became a little more experienced that maybe we could do some private training since we are close.
