We have been touched and gratified by the many thank-you notes and comments
we have received from our participants, including these from Springtime on the Outer Banks:
"Margo & Arnie,
"I wanted to drop you a note of thanks for all I learned while on your Springtime in the Outer Banks workshop. I returned home last week from a solo trip to Maine with the intent to do photography, since I had seen a lot of yours and members photos from the area that I was very impressed with.
"As I took my stance for that perfect shot I heard you, Margo, in my head with that un-un (sorry I don't even know how to spell that unusual sound you were always making) and remembered you saying to search the frame. And the information I learned from you Arnie on the Kelvin Scale helped when that sunset just didn't happened and I had the time to play around and get a decent shot from nothing.
"And yes, I learned to appreciate those early mornings and late nights when, because of Maine's ridiculously early sunrises, I had to get up at some dreadful hour to drive 1 1/2 hours to Port Clyde Lighthouse to try and catch it. As I watched the sunrise off to the side I continued shooting that glow that we were always trying to catch. And yes I was very happy with the results I got.
" Same thing when on a rainy, overcast day, I returned to Portland Head Light for a sunset that I never thought would happen. I waited with another photographer for 2 hours as the sky began to glow and a fantastic sunset occurred. It wasn't where I wanted it, but as I learned for your workshop, I walked in all directions, shot from all sides, and remembered to always look over my shoulder, because even though the sunset wasn't there where I needed it, the beautiful glowing sky was.
"So kudos to you both for those voices that stay in my head, for this was one of the most satisfying photo shoots I ever had."
Dolores Rebovich, Pennsylvania, USA
"Margo and Arnie,
"Thank you for the wonderful class. I learned a great deal, and I feel that I've grown as a photographer...
"I would also like to say I really enjoyed meeting everyone in the class and hope that we can keep in contact in the future. I would love to see some of the photos that you have created. I'm on ...
"Take care,"
Erinn Robinette, Colorado, USA
"To all,
"Thanks, Arnie and Margo, for a great experience and making learning so much fun! My excitement and enthusiasm have been re-ignited!!! Thanks to all of my colleagues for your insights, fun and fellowship.
" Best,""
Tony "anh anh" Schiano,

"I just wanted to say thanks for all the help and instructions you gave while I was on the Outer Banks Workshop, along with all the fun I had and the knowledge I gained. Hopefully I'll see you again on another of your workshops!"
Dolores Rebovich,
Pennsylvania, USA
"Thanks go to you and Arnie. It was a great session. I learned a lot, had a great time, and met some very nice people.
"OK, no more 8X10s!"
Jack Welch, Massachusetts, USA
"Participating in the May 2010 “Outer Banks’ workshop made me realize that – even though I’m extremely familiar with digital photography, camera operations, composition, lighting, etc. - I had not been putting much effort into my photography.
"Thank you, Margo, for ‘forcing’ me to apply my theoretical knowledge and translate it into better images! You helped me a lot!"
Inge Weidmann, California, USA
"First
of all, I had a great time. Pretty part of the country and great folks
with similar interests to hang out with.
"Add to that a chance to improve
your photo skills with enthusiastic and knowledgeable (and that's an understatement)
professionals to provide you all the assistance you need or want. A difference
rarely accommodated in a workshop I might add.
"You even threw in all-you-can-eat
pizza! What could be better than that? You two provide not only a great
photo workshop but a great experience as well."
Jim Crowley,
Wisconsin, USA
"I
feel badly that I was unable to say good-bye to
you. None the less, I want you to
know that I had an amazing experience at the workshop.
I learned so much and on top of that, had so much
fun. I look forward to taking another workshop w/
you ... You all are very special people."
