Seewald's workshops...the difference over others?
You aren't just driven around to pretty sites, which you could
do on your own, you are taught how to see, think and
create, like a master, from a master. That way, when you
get to pretty places on your own, you'll be able to make exciting,
award winning art with the concepts you've now practiced and learned.

Critique form from Sarah Ryba (young lady on wall in above photo) of San Bruno, California.

How_was_michael_as_an_instructor: Michael explained concepts well and was very patient.

How_was_Michaels_teaching_style: Michael has a laid back teaching style and it was very helpful to sometimes see him work and explain how, and why, he was setting up certain shots. 

ForEveryon_how_tough_respectful_day1_critiquing: Michael provided constructive feedback and was not too tough.

ForEveryon_how_tough_respectful_day2_critiquing: Michael provided excellent feedback and reinforced concepts that were introduced on the 1st day.

short_paragraph_of_how_it_was: This was a fun and instructive class and I will use what I learned to take better photos. I now feel that I understand my camera more and want to continue learning what I can do with the camera.
