I just took MC’s SFW course, April 2013. I had a terrific time with the group of people – one from China, another from Seattle, another from Wyoming, me from Michigan – you get the picture that we came from everywhere. We came because of Santa Fe Workshop’s reputation of presenting an intense learning experience guided by fantastic instructors. We got both. Michael Clark really knows his stuff, has excess energy! which he focused on us and he can also teach. He read our skills and weaknesses quickly and went to work to improve each of us technically. He sorted out our individual goals, even when we couldn’t really articulate them. Then he gave us plenty of time to address those goals and ask question after question after question. The rough environments in which we photographed were great fun to explore. Couldn’t be better.
Thanks Tania!
