PARTICIPANT COMMENTS AND PHOTOS

I would like to say a huge thank you! I can't express in words how amazing the trip was. To come from an Australian summer into the Arctic Circle and to see the northern lights dancing across the sky was a truly moving experience for me. I have raved about the trip to anyone who would listen, and you will definitely be seeing me again on another one - soon! I would also like to thank you for giving me new confidence with my camera and with my photography. I have found a new passion for taking photos and a new appreciation of the ones that I do take, and that is thanks to you! Kellie Lacie

Thanks so much for a wonderful and memorable vacation / experience (on the northern lights trip). You planned a wonderful time it itonly me want more time with the lights. It was worth the effort to get there. Thanks again. Peggy Evans

Now you're back from Alaska I want to thank you for the effort you made for us on the Aurora trip. I got all I hoped from the photography, learnt new approaches and changed my thoughts on composition and have some photos that I am very happy with as well. The best part for me, however, was the fantastic drive along the Dalton Highway. I wouldn't have done it without you! Thanks for everything. Nigel Godson

Just wanted to say I'm back at work and reflecting on my July tour of the wildflowers. I LOVED it. I had a great time and I got some pictures that I enjoy. I am so looking forward to more tours. You were wonderful. You were a huge help and I really feel I learned a lot. Not only that but I was amazed at how conscientious, helpful, and accommodating you were. You really were amazing. You not only were extremely helpful in the photography aspect of the trip, but you were always worried about our comfort, enjoyment, and what we were getting out of it. I will say that I would do the wildflower trip again. Pat Jorgenson

Thank you for such an awesome adventure! You were a GREAT teacher and I learned sooooo much! I hope I didn't drive you crazy with all my questions, but that's the only way I can learn and I learned a lot!! We have some really awesome pictures. Debbie Davis

Thanks for your (camera club) program. I am very sure that we all learned something more about photography. To quote a member, ",,,he knows how to draw out the interest and add another dimension." I think that sums it up pretty good indeed. Harry Sherwood, Evergreen Camera Club

Thank you once again for the Utah trip. I learned so much from you - and was ever so glad because I would have been so lost in Alaska! Anyhow, I am recommending you to lots of people, because I truly appreciate how generous you were with your time and knowledge on the trip. You go above and beyond. Thank you! Penny Lloyd

Once again, let (us) thank you for our Blue Ridge Parkway trip - we really did enjoy ourselves. AND we both learned some new stuff along the way. You really ...opened our eyes to new ways of looking at things. I'm sure we'll see you again on future photo trips.Ned and Charlie Brokloff

Just wanted to say thanks again for a great trip.Your efforts to help us achieve our photographic goals and your patience are much appreciated. I'll be back!!!! Margaret Price

I'd like to thank you for your time with us in Florida. Thank you for your individual time spent with me also. The seminar was excellent and the two days I spent with you photographing Honeymoon Island was an added bonus. I learned a great deal more than before your seminar and field shoot. Thanks so very much. Norman Pyett

Expect to see me again on this trip. It was wonderful and I learned a lot. Marjorie Carr

As expected, the Florida Birding Workshop was fantastic. Capturing birds in intriguing situations rather than static portraits is more challenging then I ever dreamed. But combining your instruction on bird habits, utilzing a powerful flash and continuous dynamic focusing certainly made for some excellent results. 4,000 pictures and 34 bird species later I am ready for the National Audubon Society! Thanks again! I am sure we will see you again sometime soon. Ned

A sincerely meant thank you for the bighorn sheep photo shoot. Your enthusiasm for and interest in teaching nature photography were the catalysts for a most enjoyable and instructive photo shoot. Mike Kaplit

I very much enjoyed the time in Bosque del Apache with you and the rest of the group. You gave me a lot to think about. Thank you for your wisdom on the trip.

I enjoyed the (bighorn sheep) trip very much and appreciate your teaching and finding the right spots for sheep and the elk. Clyde Elmore

Andy, the (Oregon Coast) trip was terrific. I learned more than I expected about picture taking. You were patient, knowledgeable and worked hard to get us to the right spots to take the photos. The (instructional programs) were wonderful. Ken Williams

We did another photo workshop in Scotland, which was landscape photography and black & white darkroom work. Great scenery and a wonderful trip but we will have to admit that you gave us much more technical instruction that was very helpful. We enjoy getting your newsletter and keep those coming! Mark ad Kerry Gustafson

Your are a very gifted and patient instructor. Reading Outdoor Photographer on the plane reinforced what I learned from you, which was huge. The more I study photography and look at the work of fine photographers here in Jackson Hole and in books, the more I'm aware I studied with one of the finest photographers in the world when I studied with you, Andy....they just don't come any better. And, that Ouray trip was such a value....you did all that difficult off-road driving that I would have had to pay a fortune for had I hired a driver.....so essentially, I got all the fine photo help for free! Alice Carter

You certainly provided more than a wonderful experience in New Mexico! Couldn't have taken such nice photos without your tutoring. Susan Stevens

I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful trip (Arches National Park). Knowing where to be for the light was priceless.Thanks again for all your help and hospitality! Lori Labrecque
