Hi Leo,
Did Peter do an in-depth critique of each of these portfolios and on each 
photo shown? As the seminar wrap session?

Were there instructions / teaching from Peter before you all went out on 
your own?  Did you see a large teaching portfolio of his work to enhance the 
inspiration before you started.
Or were you told to just go out on your own and shoot "the Streets of 
Paris?"

The most effective aspect of a "LEARNING" seminar with whomever you are 
attending....... is the inspiration creating vibes illustrating the 
lecturers images as a goal to attempt to shoot much better images and the 
challenge is always..... "kick his/her butt with your own material! "

"YOU SHOULD ALL GO OUT THE DOOR WITH AN ATTITUDE TO SHOW NO MERCY! TAKE NO 
PRISONERS WITH YOUR RESULTS AND SHOOT THE INSTRUCTORS ASS OFF~ YOU MAY NOT 
DO IT...... BUT THAT ISN'T THE POINT! YOU SHOULD BE SO INSPIRED WHEN YOU GO 
OUT? YOU HAVE NO DOUBT YOU ARE GOING TO KICK ASS WITHOUT QUESTION~

And if you don't approach a teaching/learning session to out shoot everybody 
else and leave them gasping in admiration seeing your images on the screen! 
Then why bother and just carry on shooting  Friday flowers!

And without question, a major over all critique of a selected number of 
images from each attendee "IS A MUST! OTHER WISE, HOW DO YOU LEARN? 
CERTAINLY PAYING THE AMOUNT OF TRAVEL AND ATTENDANCE FEE! THE TEACHING AND 
CRITIQUE AS TOUGH AS CAN BE IS MANDATORY OR YOU'VE JUST THROWN AWAY A GREAT 
PILE OF MONEY AND LEARNED DAMN LITTLE.
If this didn't occur how did anyone know whether they had done good, bad or 
ugly?

Something that could not be said about the "Cape Cod Leica International 
Seminar!!" Any year during my 16 years of teaching and critiquing. And if 
any of the CREW should be interested? The same seminar will and is being 
produced, but only in a new and photo challenging location in Sister Bay, 
Wisconsin Oct. 18 -19 -20

Great line up of teachers, photo taking locations abound everytime you turn 
around sunrise to sunset.

You wont be sorry because you will go home completely wired to be trying all 
the new things and techniques!

You can't go wrong and if you've never been through this part of the USA or 
even been here you will be-blown away. Looking forward to re-greeting old 
buddies and numerous new camera toting new friends,

cheers
Dr. ted
