I had three cancelations for this workshop so I now have three seats available. It was 100% sold out (20 seats) so if you wanted in and I told you all the seats were gone, THIS is the last chance! I just updated the schedule/guests/food on the workshop page HERE. So if you want to join us there will be about 30 of us total including the guests! This one will be loads of fun. I will be driving into LA from Phoenix on Friday morning the 27th and will be staying at the Sheraton. The 1st day, Friday will start at 5PM.
Schedule of Events – (Subject to change/be revised)
Friday Jan 27th – The short day.
5PM – we will all meet at the Studio. Here we will do the introductions and talk about our own goals with photography. What we currently shoot, and what we want to get better at. Basically we will all get to know each other.
6PM – A guest presentation from Andrew at SLR Magic who will talk about their all new premium 50 f/0.95 for Leica M AND he will have 2-3 of the lenses on hand for all of the Leica shooters to try and even compare against their Leica 50′s. Maybe even a Noctilux comparison? This will be fun and Andrew will talk about the design of the lens. You can be the first in the world to take photos with the lens and yes, you will be able to post them online!
Between 6:30-6:45 – We will all head out to shoot some on the street just to get some exercise and to see how we all shoot. We will split up into groups of 3-4 and shoot for an hour and then head back to the studio to see what we got.
7:30-8PM – Back at the studio we will go over the images we shot and share some with the group. We will also find out what your concerns are when shooting on the street. Find out what, if anything, holds you back. After this we will be done for the day. We will also see the SLR Magic images from those who were shooting with the new lens!

I just looked through the schedule, and it sounds like a total hoot! The only thing that is not clear is the cost – I did not see it listed anywhere. Or if I have to ask I can not afford it? 😉
that sounds like an amazing weekend! I’m a huge fan of curb, that’s almost worth flying out for:)
