We just completed one of our best workshops to date and the work is really strong. We had a great bunch of participants all of whom we now consider good friends. There is something about these workshops that create such a sense of brotherhood not to mention great photography.

Some of what is being said:

"I had a great experience on the trip [Guatemala 2009]. More importantly, I wanted to express the gratitude I feel for your realization and perseverance to compose this trip. The philosophy behind the trip is just as important as any memory we might have. As a whole, it was great to know that others share this passion for a combination of creative independence along with a collective organization to enhance through support and criticism. I learned a lot from myself and others and have great courage to pursue my passions. This [trip] took me that much closer to my Truth."

"I am leaving Guatemala this morning. I have had the incredible opportunity to decompress in the tranquility and beauty of my friends house in Ciudad Vieja. But I just want to take this moment, before being swept off in the hustle and bustle of life in the US to thank each and every one of you for the priviledge of getting to know you and being a part of this phenomenal experience we shared."

"America no longer feels like home. I almost stayed for another week...I want to thank you for your unconditional guidance and understanding on this trip. I woke up. In a way I was not expecting."

We want to personally thank the terrific NGOs we work with, The God's Child Project and SEVA for allowing us the access into these stories. For all those wishing to donate money or your precious time to some worthy cause being involved with either of these two organizations will change your life.

We are posting many of the stories from our students on our main web site: www.visualreportage.com so be sure to check out all the great work these amazing people accomplished in just 8 days.

So what is next: VRWorkshops Reportage: INDIA 2009 (~November 20 - November 30). We are busily working out all the details but since this is our expeditionary trip to this unbelievable place we will be offering an equally "unbelievable" price for this first workshop. With only 12 spots maximum it is best to start thinking about this now. Please contact us at visualreportage@gmail.com with any questions or to get on a mailing list.

We look forward to seeing you on our next trip.
