 <\/p>\n

Over the weekend I went up to Erlanger, Kentucky for Tony Sweet’s Creative Photography Seminar, and wow what a great shooter he is! \u00a0I’ve known Tony for many years, actually when we first met he was a drummer, a really good one too, in a jazz band. He worked with us in the Great American Photography Weekends and then he really blossomed into the great artist he is today. \u00a0In my estimation Tony residers in the rarefied atmosphere of the Art Wolfe’s and Freeman Patterson’s of our craft. \u00a0One part great shooter and two parts real artist! \u00a0Tony’s work is a magical combination of tight, wonderful technique, and an open ended and embracing art!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I really enjoyed what Tony shared and it was a good review, and I picked up some novel new ways to look at common photographic problems, all in all, a day very well spent. \u00a0Tony had assembled a nice group of photographers and I knew several so it was a kind of a homecoming for me as well, it was great to see some old friend again. \u00a0Tony and I had time to visit and catch-up on a very old friendship, which I enjoyed very much! \u00a0I can highly recommend Tony‘s classes, seminars, and his excellent books! \u00a0You can learn more at: \u00a0http:\/\/tonysweet.com\/<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks Tony, for a very nice day with you, and your followers!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well it’s just one more day until Jim and I head to Old Car City, I will keep you posted from there, can’t wait, love that place!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
