What a pleasant surprise to see Russ¹s post below. I decided to stay in
Grand Teton/Yellowstone for a few days after the workshop to do some more
photography and didn¹t have access to email, so when this message showed up
on my phone as I was leaving the park, it caught me off guard.

The four day program was exhausting and totally fun for all of us, including
the instructors. As Russ pointed out, most of the attendees were
ophthalmologists but as in our Yosemite workshop, everyone left their
credentials at the door and became a group of photographers learning from
one another and helping each other make better images, both ophthalmic and
personal. I am in the process of looking into doing another workshop next
spring in Zion National Park and possibly going back to Grand Teton in the
fall of 2012. If you would like to be on my email list, please let me know
off the list. To see a report on the workshop with images from one of our
instructors (Jim DiVitale), go to his blog at:
http://divitalephotography.blogspot.com

I want to again thank my sponsors Haag-Streit USA, Heidelberg Engineering,
Optos, Abobe and Capture Integration. Without their support, the workshop
would not be possible. I also want to thank my friends and instructors (
William Mieler, MD, Richard Spaide, MD, Jim DiVitale, Helene Glassman, Ken
Christopherson, Michael Coppinger). Without their friendship and hard work
during the meeting, the experience Russ wrote about would not have been
possible.

Just one correction to Russ¹s post. The four day workshop was awarded 32 OPS
credits.
