    Any way these can be recorded and put on Smug video or something so others can watch it too?

    Hi Elaine,

    We have been thinking about this as Marc has done lots of these over the years. Let us strategize a bit and get back to you.

    Hi Markham,

    This sounds Great!

    I followed your RSVP link and registered myself, but saw no way to add my Wife (Marilyn).

    May I just bring her with me or does she need to do the whole Yahoo/Upcoming thing to sign herself up?

    Thanks,

    - Frank

    this will be fun and yes old dogs can learn new tricks
    I love doing these workshops and covering some of what I've learned along the way in 45 years of photography (like the one below I shot over 40 years ago.) It will be fun and be gauged to enlighten at any level (for advanced guys too, bring those who you've wanted to teach photography to.) See you there.

    Even though I think I know it all, in reality I know I don't. And what's not to like about "Free"? Count me in!

    Stay tuned.

    Please add me to the list of people wanting a video. I'm in Japan. Thank you.

    Also it's pretty easy now to live stream it over the internet.

    Add one more to the list of requests. I'm even open to purchasing a DVD if one were to be made available.

    I feel so left out. I guess that's what get for living on the wrong coast?

    I'm in Japan, too, and would also love the opportunity to take part even if only via a video/dvd after the fact. Hope you can organize something for those of us that can't get anywhere near there! :)

    If the weather holds -- not storming -- there might be a few of us heading out for a post-seminar shootout. My current plan is to head to hills of Stanford....

    I too would be interested in a video if it has CLOSED CAPTIONING for those of us with a hearing loss to the point that we need the captioning to understand what is said.
