Today was my very first Sunday workshop. There were 8 enthusiastic participants ranging from beginners to almost professional. We started the day by getting to know each other, hanging out at my kitchen eating breakfast. Since this was my first 8 participant workshop, I was a bit worried about timing. I wanted to make sure that we were on track no matter what. Well, it turned out that I didn't have to worry. We finished on-the-dot. We had lunch at Fuzio, then headed to Blackhawk plaza for a "live" shoot. I invited one of my model friends Viola to come work with my participants. She was such a trooper since the weather was pretty chilly, but she still looked good for all of us in her little sun dress. We finished the day with an one hour critique session back at my home studio. What a GREAT day!
Thanks all for coming to my workshop! I look forward to seeing more great pictures from you!

Augie, thanks for an awesome workshop! I learned a lot, and will be definitely applying your photography tips! Lighting is sooo important! -Kevin
It was great meeting fellow newbies and learning what capabilities our camera's can give us. What I got from the class will definitely be applied to how I shoot from now on. The class was well worth it it for anyone wanting to learn how a DSLR camera works. Thanks Augie!!
Hey Augie!
My boyfriend Dustin and I love your work and we are so much interested in attending your workshop. When is the next one?
Hi Augie,
As the saying goes, "You Can Teach An Old Dog New Tricks." There is always different and new to learn. Thank your for the conversation on the wedding business and tricks and tips on a faster way to do post production.
For anyone visiting this blog and if you are interested in expanding your knowledge of photography and using your SLR camera, I would strongly recommend Augie's workshop. If you are as lazy as I am in reading the photography user's manual, this workshop is basically a live version of it and much more.
It's an incredibly fun and friendly way to educate yourself the many features and advantages of the digital photography world. Plus, you get to shoot a live model.
Augie is a natural instructor.
Thanks again Augie for the class. So much great info to absorb and a great environment to learn. Highly recommend spending time with Augie to learn even just a little of what he knows!!

I was pretty heavy handed with the delete key and still posted 41 images. No post processing though - no corrections or crops. Just the shots.
