Here in the UK we have a place called Duckspool, see http://www.duckspool.com though there are others. The last time I visited here there were at least a couple of visitors from Europe. the good workshops don't teach, they enlighten your attitude to photography. They get you to analyse why you want to do what you want to do, then can suggest ways of getting there. There are only a few books where I've ever seen that suggested, 'Approaching Photography', Paul Hill, Focal Press. 'On Being a Photographer', Bill Jayand David Hurn, Lenswork Publishing and perhaps 'Discover Yourself through Photography', Ralph Hattersley, Association Press These may give you something to look at till you can find a workshop. best regards, Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Duri Koenz [SMTP:dkoenz@bluewin.ch] Dear Leica Friends I would like very much to improve my photography skills. I am an engaged amateur since many years, but I have a fulltime job and a large family. I allready studied lots of books and tryed to make my own experiences, but somehow I am stuck. I think I need some impuls. Is there a home study or online course or any other method or possibility which you can recommend? Thank you very much and 'good light' to everybody Duri
