<\/a>Photograph by Joe McNally<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This coming Sunday we start our last workshop of the year in the Great Smokies with Joe McNally and Anne Cahill! \u00a0I’ve looked forward to doing a workshop with Joe for years and now it is less than a week away! \u00a0Not only is Joe one of the most successful magazine photojournalists in the world, he is also one of the nicest guys you will ever meet and his wife Anne, was one of my best buddies at Nikon!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Joe and Anne are dear friends and they are what has been the best thing about photogprahy for me, the great people it puts in your life. \u00a0I was with Joe and Anne on their first meeting, was at their wedding, and have had many great times with them. \u00a0This will be an epic time and to top it all the opening of our Christmas Celebration!!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My dear friends Jim Begley, Jim and Sue Haverstock, Miles Smith, Mike Early, Mike Roberts, \u00a0George Flanagan, Donna Martin, Ralphi, Nina, and John Oakley will \u00a0all be there too! \u00a0I can hardly wait.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I hope and pray that your journey in photography has blessed you as much as it has me!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Blessings,<\/p>\n
