I'm a fan of his Lightroom and PSE books and I see he's doing a one day seminar in Philly in April. I love Philly and just the excuse to go there and grab lunch at Reading Terminal Market is enough. For $89 and the price of gas I expect that I'm bound to pick up more than a few things. But when I read course descriptions like this...
[h=2]How to Take Better Pictures Starting Right Now!
[/h] What is the one thing we all really want to do? We just want to take better pictures, right? Right! We want to move to the next level where we really enjoy the process, sidestep the frustration and start taking the kind of photos we know are inside us — we just need to know the techniques that let us focus on the images, and stop getting bogged down in all the technical stuff, and that’s exactly what you’re going to learn in this session. This class is filled with those “ah-ha!” moments that make the light-bulb come on for you so you can start taking better photos. Not in a few months, not in a year—starting tonight!
... I can't help but wonder if I'll be sitting there wondering why I paid for fluff (though I'll walk away with $99 worth of software I may never use, so I guess it's technically "free")? It'll give me a day off from work, and a chance to wander the city and shoot some (haven't been there since I got back into DSLR photography), so I don't need arm twisting. But I can just take a day off and go shoot and eat.
Anyway, just curious if anyone has ever attending one of his seminars?
