Hope all is well with the family...

Now you tell me!!  :-(   I've already sent in my registration fee!  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?

This sounds great but I have a horror of doing travel or people photography 
with a herd of photographers. Have you taken a travel workshop 
before?  Tuscany in the summer would be wonderful.  Keep us posted.

Leically,

Tina
