RE: [Leica] Photo Workshops

Ken,

Try:

For the SW - Santa Fe. I have always fancied going to one of their
workshops. They have a good reputation.

In the Eastern US:

are the biggie, with some good people. I have heard mixed responses from
people who have been - more about the organisation though. It s the only
workshop I have attended, about 8 years ago though - I had a great time and
learnt a huge amount.

there is also Anderson Ranch in Colorado - not sure if they have a website.
And a few one off workshops. I'll see if I can find any more info. There are
quite a few smaller set-ups too. Best to go by word of mouth.

An awful lot depends on the instructor. Some of the bigger names are great -
others may be good photographers, but lousy teachers. Also, some lesser
known photographers are great teachers!

I think Tina has been to a Maine workshop more recently.

(There is also this - don't know what their courses are for this year. David
Medley on the LUG is involved. Last year they had a workshop with Bruce
Davidson

An awful lot depends on what you are looking for.
