I certainly won't fit in with a non-people group of photographers. The Project Workshop was recommended to me by a career counselor who thinks I need to complete at least one project (book, calendar, etc.) I have all of these thousands of photos of Honduras that are my heart's work but have very limited salability as stock. I see Harvey is teaching "The Art of the Color Essay" (not me). I don't see Allard at all. Any other suggestions? >I'm considering taking course from Antonin Kratochvil at the Tuscany >Photo Workshop this summer.

Have you taken a travel workshop before? Tuscany in the summer would be wonderful. Keep us posted. Leically, Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
