A Question to ask yourself....

Imagine this:

You're out in remote Utah, amidst some of the most stunning country in the world. You've got your camera in hand, and two pros at your side. A guide waits for you, he's got dinner cooking, and you are about to get the shot of a lifetime, eat out under the stars, and learn from the best. It really doesn't get any better than this.

Now the question to ask yourself is, why haven't I signed up yet?

    Once my wife and I have a little extra after paying for those things once (room, food, car, etc...) I'll consider paying for it a second time. Seriously, I would love to go, and someday I plan to, but right now the money just isn't there. ne_nau.gif

    David, I would need someone to carry my gear! It's too "blankety-blank" heavy!!! All that &@*&^ "good" glass weighs a ton! Seriously, I would love, love, love to go, but I'll just have to miss another one....too many 'issues' I can't resolve right now. :cry

    I can't speak to your other "issues", but I'd help carry your gear. There won't be major hiking, just minor hiking. :D

    You are a very mean man. :nono

    For me, one answer: my bank account says no. Otherwise, both my wife AND I would be SO there. We love the Utah NPs. This would be a great second big trip out for us.

    Is it a one-off, or a yearly event?

    More workshops are coming down the pike. They won't be in Utah, though, I wouldn't think, at least not for a while. Gotta mix it up, ya know?

    I may not be able to for much longer...

    BTW, I'm pretty new here and am loving the shoot-out and workshop opportunities! Knowing to expect these, I imagine I'll be signing up for as many as I can in the future... The calendar and bank book both take some advance notice.
