The joy of great friends……
I’ve been enormously blessed, I run the His Light Workshops with one of my best friends, Jim Begley, and I get invited to work with such great, long time friends, as Jack Graham! I know I don’t deserve such honors, but God has surely smiled on me. I’m going to do something that you will rarely see done by someone that runs a workshop company of their own, recommend another company and leader!!! Jack Graham has been dear friend for a very long time, but that is not why I think you should consider joining him some day for a workshop, it’s because he has integrity! Jack is a very gifted shooter, and even more gifted teacher, and I don’t know of anyone that does more preparation for a workshop that he does. He won’t take people somewhere that he does not know incredibly well, and when he gets his students there he takes great care of them.
I have really enjoyed doing this workshop with Jack and I’m happy to say we are doing two more, one in Death Valley in November and another next June in the Columbia Gorge of Oregon. I’m thrilled to be with him in both. I love seeing people get really excited about their work, and our image review session tonight was that kind of great experience. The work was really good and we really enjoyed teaching.
I’m thrilled to be rejoining Jim, Snake, and Dave Black in less than two weeks at Shaker Village too! It is a real blessing to get to work with such great people!

This is absolutely right on! What I learned from Jack Graham will influence me for a lifetime. His qualities as a workshop leader are exceeded only by his qualities as a person.
Amen!
Jack is a great instructor and a genuine nice guy, I feel fortunate to consider him a friend. Looking forward to taking workshops from both of you next year.
Can’t wait to me you Fred.
Bill, you’ve known JG longer than I, but I still have 8 wonderful years of appreciating Jack as he goes about his work with passion and honesty. You have quite accurately described Jack. His guidance and friendship have been unflappable for me. I hope to run into Jack on his Southern Utah trip in a couple of weeks. I think we all witness the masterful image style that results in an amazing catalog. Those folks that have been fortunate to join him on a workshop walk away knowing that he is the real deal and they are being immersed into it. Beyond that, every time Jack and I talk, his leadership, involvement, and sense of purpose keep growing. I have often told people that Jack is the hardest working photo workshop leader around. There is more to it than that – his workshops are 100% customer oriented. He can do this readily because his experience is about the best in the business. That makes Jack’s photo workshops the best value around. You can’t imagine how fulfilling a Jack Graham Photo Workshop is until you experience one.
I agree, Jack is the “real deal” , and sadly there are fewer and fewer like him!
