Frank -

I've done several workshops - The Maine Photographic Workshops, Santa 
Fe Workshops, and the Look3 Workshops in Charlottesville that I just 
finished.  Of the three, the Eugene Richards workshop at Look3 was 
best, Maine - as far as being instructive - was next, and Santa Fe 
was still very, very good.  I learned enough and made enough contacts 
in all three to more than pay for the tuition, room and board.

The Leica seminars are lots of fun.  You get to borrow all of the 
Leica equipment that you think you might ever want and you may even 
learn something.  They aren't workshops in the sense of the other 
three, but they are seminars with different lectures by different 
working photographers.  It's in a fantastic place where you can shoot 
your brains out and there's lots of good food and drink.  I'm not 
sure you can get an M8 for $1500, but come to the Leica Seminar and 
you might win a pair of Leica binoculars that's worth over $1500 or a 
fantastic camera bag that retails for over $300 - just two prizes 
that my amateur husband has won over the years (and never lets me 
forget!!)  You can learn only so much on your own but comparing your 
work shot over several days with that of the others in the same 
seminar and hearing Ted's wonderful and constructive critiques of 
each photo is invaluable.
