For two years I was taking pictures in ‘auto’ mode but wanted to learn how to take more professional looking landscape photos. Alec made sure we all met our personal goals, spent valuable one-on-one time with each of us and kept the workshop fun.

This workshop provided me with the background knowledge, skills and practice I needed to learn how to run my new camera. The positive and nonthreatening learning environment that the instructors provide is very helpful.

Hey,  what can I say.   It was an experience…..a good  one!!   Thanks for getting Sharon turned on to photography.   Getting to play (define it as you wish), getting to have extreme fun, with these amazing digital cameras, with such a wide range  of personalities is verification that you are doing  it right.  Sitting on the “beach?” at  Split Rock, after your “stage crew” had produced a magic sun rise.   Both of us with numb toes.  Still in awe of  what  we  had just seen and participated in.  Talking  about filters, cameras, light, cold toes,  water currents……….no agenda, no pretense, no objective other than enjoyed and sharing the time and the  moment.   There were  a few of those out “on the set” when our paths crossed.  Thank You.
U B DA BEST

Alec, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate how generously you’ve once again shared your knowledge, experience and enthusiasm in this workshop. You are such a fantastic, caring and dedicated teacher, and this workshop pushed me into new territory faster, more surely – and with more laughter - than I ever would have experienced on my own! My feeling today is that I’ve gone deeper – that photography has seeped deeper under my skin, or like I’m now diving and swimming around in a deeper part of the ocean. It’s a little unsettling, and thrilling at the same time

Alec great workshop! The locations were great and critiques very helpful. The photo opportunities on the North Shore were tremendous no matter what weather prevailed. I would encourage anyone interested in learning more about photography to attend one. You really went out of your way to provide a supportive and informative workshop. Keep up the good work!

Alec is an extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and skilled instructor. For four days he guided us through not only the breathtaking and challenging landscapes of the North Shore, but also the hills and valleys of our internal experience as we pushed ourselves to grow in art and skill – all with an incredible sense of humor, candor and compassion.
