— Jennifer Cobble, USA

And even more...

“As a new recruit to photography, I have to say that the time spent with you was brilliant, and at least the equivalent of spending a whole year at night classes. I’ve rarely met a more knowledgeable professional in any field.”
— Eric Walsh, Dublin

“Just a quick line to say thanks for a very informative weekend. You’re a teacher who has the ability to impart knowledge in an enjoyable, relaxed and enthusiastic manner, whilst gradually building the confidence of your students through encouragement and example.”
— Fiona Wallace, Cork

“Thank you again for a great workshop. It was the best I’ve ever attended, and I appreciated not only your photographic and teaching skills, but also your approach to life in general. I learned a great deal, and loved the scenery. I would have no hesitation in recommending your workshops to other photographers, and hopefully will get the chance to do another myself some day.”
— David Gee, Australia

“I had a fantastic time. Sitting here less than a week later back at work it feels like some sort of vague dream already. The locations for shooting were incredible and the large number of locations you got us to in 10 days was also very impressive. You are a very good instructor. Those of us who do this for a living recognize that the axiom “Those who can’t, teach” is pure bullshit, and they’ve never tried teaching. You show very disciplined patience when necessary, but also are very good at utilizing your sense of humor to make everyone have a good time. Your depth and breadth of knowledge is commendable. Not only are you able to answer questions, but you also give deep detail behind the answer if necessary. Also, you made yourself amazingly accessible; I didn’t anticipate that you would be with us at every meal and so open to discussing photgraphy during every breathing moment you were awake. That level of accessibility is not something I was expecting.”
— Scott McGlynn, USA

“What can I say? Brilliant locations, food, accommodation, teaching and non-stop laughs. And you got me on the plane with my tripod!”
— Val Graham, UK

“As the only genuine old-timer in your group, I found the course to be intense, but very rewarding. You took us to some beautiful parts of Ireland, which, but for this course, we might never have seen. Each day you took trouble to spend time with each of us to explain everything from the absolutely simple to the highly technical about landscape photography. Above all, through your leadership, you merged us into a team who enjoyed each others company and at the same time greatly improved our photographic skills. The organisation, food and accommodation were all first class as well, so many thanks for a great ten days. Long may you reign in elite photographic circles!”
— Robert Moran, Australia
