Hi — I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your shows. I am a model and a graphic artist/photo retoucher. I have been having a huge passion in my stomach to have a photo studio for a long time. I got a good camera for stock photos and have an account with Dreamstime as well as one on stockexchng. I haven't had any formal training with a class, but my art background really helps. And so does your show! I listen to it intently and even have a pad/pencil to write down stuff so I don't forget….lol –So thanks you so much for every thing you do!
