Registration for the next Photographers' Workshop begins on Monday, June 6th at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time. (This class runs from September 12th - November 20th and will be my last class for 2011.)
To register on Monday, June 6th at 6:00 p.m. Pacific time, just:
- go to www.snapshotsofagoodlife.com
- select 'Photography Classes' and then the registration page (The registration page will not be viewable on Monday until exactly 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time.)
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. I have no way of knowing how Monday's registration will go but past classes have always filled up fast so you'll want to type quickly. (To make the process quicker, just fill out the 'General Information' section, knowing that you can fill out the remaining information at a later time, after your registration is complete.)
The workshop runs for 10 weeks, includes 45 lesson (a total of 450+ pages of information and images) and 9 assignments. There is a class forum (an image from the Q&A Board is shown below) where you can interact with your classmates, post all of your questions, upload your assignments and post images for fun and/or critique. (This forum is my full time job so you'll have access to me 40+ hours a week during the entire course.)
I allow a limited number of 'regular students' ($395) and 'auditing students' ($245). Auditing students can participate in class exactly like a regular student, asking questions, posting comments, uploading photos, etc. The only difference between auditing students and regular students is that I do not provide evaluations for assignments or photo critiques posted by auditing students.
Some students choose to audit because the regular seats usually fill up quickly and other students choose to audit because their schedule is busy and they want the flexibility of working at their own pace, knowing that they can choose to schedule a telephone or Skype consult ($150 per hour) with me in the future to ask questions and receive feedback on their images. (Note that the cost of auditing/$245 plus the cost of a one hour consult/$150 is the same cost as taking the class as a regular student/$395 so for the same price, you can get the same experience as a regular student except my evaluation of your images would be done over the phone/Skype at your convenience instead of receiving a written evaluation of your images like I do for regular students. I hope that makes sense.)
If you'd like to receive updates on future classes via email, you can get on the wait list here. (There's currently 1324 people on the waiting list but don't let that scare you!)
If you have any additional questions, check out the information here. If you don't find the answer to your question there, feel free to leave your question in the comments section and I'll update this post with the answer to your question marked in red so you don't miss my response.
And you can weed through the comments on this post from Feb. 2011 (Sorry, I was doing a giveaway so there's 800+ comments) to hear what some past students have to say about the class.
Hope I didn't miss anything and looking forward to having some of you in my next class! (Oh, and if you email me on registration day, please be patient with my response because registration day is crazy for me!)
Oh, and I'm going to give away one auditing seat in the class so leave a comment if you want to enter and I'll announce the winner sometime on Tuesday. (And if you happen to register for the class on Monday and are the winner of the drawing on Tuesday, I'll just refund your money!)
I just love your photos and I would love to see some of your scrapbook layouts.
