September 25th
We decided to give you one last chance to order the Selective COlor and HSL Mastery Workshop at 20% off. If you have been sitting on the fence pondering whether to place your order this is the time to do it. Click here to access the 20% off description and ordering page.
The reason for giving you this final opportunity is that we were away teaching the Little Known Northern New Mexico Workshop and our email and phone service went out during our absence. This means people could not call or place email orders.
It took us some time to rest from teaching and traveling and to get caught up with business that accumulated during our absence. We are now fully operational and ready to take your order. Phone and email work and the special offer is good until we do the drawing for the free Image Adjustment (see below) this weekend.
However the Special offer will absolutely end on September 29th. There will be no second last chance. This is it! Afterwards you will have to pay the regular price (+ 20% more) and you will not get the free gift, and you will not get entered in the free photo-adjustment drawing (see below for details). But . . . if you act now all of this will be yours :-)
September 22nd
The Winner of the free drawing for all orders of the new Selective Color and HSL Mastery will be announced this week. The winner will be announced here, on social media and personally over email. Stay tuned :-)

We just returned from teaching the 2019 Little Known Northern New Mexico Workshop. The image featured here was taken at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe by one of our participants. We visited the Museum during the workshop. The reason I am holding the Ferrari Prancing Horse Magazine is because this magazine has a section featuring photographs of Ferrari Club members in various locations holding the magazine and I wanted to be featured in that section. I will submit this photograph, as well as others taken in other locations, and we will see if they publish one of them.

The Workshops Page was updated today with new workshops and openings.
"I just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic workshop.
I admit I was a little hesitant about joining a workshop with someone I have not met before, however, I was pleasantly surprised.
The quality of the instruction, the handouts, and Alain's keen insights
beyond the technical aspects of photography
made this workshop second-to-none and a valuable investment to me.
Your scheduling and organization of the workshop was flawless.
In addition, phenomenal locations and a fun and diverse group of participants
made this workshop a clear winner.
It was definitely worth the money and more."
