581 I know many of you have participated in workshops in the past. What were your opinions of them? I know the general answer of "you get out of it what you put in" applies to workshops, to a point. Whether it's organization, the commitment of the organizers, whatever, some are going to be better than others. I have been part of the Mountain Workshops 2007 put on by Western Kentucky University, which was very disappointing. The inaugural Mardi Gras 360° was amazing. I wish I was down there now. The two I have attended, taught me more than I could have taught myself just fumbling about for a week on my own, and I have been able to get some friends out of the experience to boot. I am looking into applying for the Eddie Adams Barnstorm XXII taking place in October. If anyone has opinions on that workshop, I'd appreciate feedback. But mostly, I am wondering if workshops really are where it's at for an intense submersion into creating better images. Are there other avenues that are better? Which workshops are best for rookies like myself? Which have you attended that you cannot imagine where you would be without them? 25 2009-02-24T19:59:09Z 0 2009-02-24T19:59:09Z true 26705 false 1299 2009-03-18T19:53:38Z Des Moines, Iowa true 2009-08-24T00:00:00Z false workshops-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly 1 2009-03-18T19:53:38Z 13900
