amylee - thanks so very much for posting this melissa! having recently moved here from michigan (and knowing absolutely no ONE) I m super excited about this tonight! and with 5 kids, any excuse to wear lipstick and leave the house is welcomed with open arms!!

stacey bode - I heard him speak at the Atlanta PUG a few months ago. A few moments actually brought tears to my eyes. Everything he said helped remind me of who I am as a photographer.

Laura James - Thanks for this. I may be able to make the Boston workshop! On a side note, might you be able to email me which camera/lens you use? Thanks.

Yuka photo art - This is great post! Thank you Melissa! I attended workshop with Joe Bussink in Toronto and It was AMAZING! I have got huge experience!

Leah Godfredson - Yea! This will be my first Phoenix PUG meeting- we just moved here from TX a week ago. What a wonderful opportunity to meet some awesome photographers. I can't wait!

Tina - This is just what I've been looking for! I just signed up, thanks for the tip:)
