Hi Folks

Nicole has just arrived here, and I am pleased to announce her first workshop is completely full , and a second workshop is full as well. We may be able to squeeze one or two people in but I am very happy at the response.
Wed evening the doors to Elevator will open at 5:30 pm and at 6 she will be the first of two speakers in our popular photographer talk and shows.
Fri evening as promised, rain or shine we will be sponsoring a bbq in Nicoles honour and all APUGers are welcome. It will be a BYOB event but we will supply the burgers and dogs.
On Wed of next week , Laura, Barney, Lucy , Nicole and I are off to Michigan to participate in Bill Schwabs Photostock . I am excited to be able to present *tales from the darkroom* and Les Mclean and I will be printing this weekend some special prints for this event. Nicole wants to be a fly on the wall as Les and I bitch at each other and try to produce some magic.

so anyways I hope some of you can drop by tommorow or fri , and for our Michigan friends I hope to see you at Photostock.

Welcome Nicole! And congratulations on the workshops filling! Most deserved. If I didn't have the gig here to prepare for, I would be there in a minute.

Have a great time you guys! Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Bill

Welcome Nicole, and enjoy your stay!

Welcome to Canada Nicole, hope you have fun (and watch out for Dinesh) Next time hope you can come to the western side of the country - as different as WA is from Sydney!

Good grief, Bob. I hope Dinesh isn't going to be hanging around your shop, slobbering all over her and regaling her with his boring stories about his rugby days, or the time he got a game misconduct in his scrubs hockey league for mooning the referee. The poor woman will never leave home again.

Bienvenue au pays, Nicole, et peut-être la prochaine fois ce sera à Montréal...

Are you psychic because that was pretty much spot on! :p

Welcome to Canada Nicole, sorry for the chilly weather, I am swinging by Elevator on Friday for the BBQ.

I am NOT a psycho, although I'm convinced my radio is talking to me. You can't prove a thing. argh...the voices.....

It's the first time I've met Nicole and I have to say that she is super nice, genuine and immediately comes across as a warm and kind person.

I've really enjoyed the first day of the workshop; it was very inspirational to see some of her (wonderful) work, but best of all, I really enjoyed watching her do a photo session with a family of two boys and their parents. I've been to other workshops where the instructor does a session but it was nothing like Nicole's. She was so good at explaining what she was doing; what was going on in her head as she composed; how she was using the light; what light she was seeing, etc.

I am inspired and can't wait to shoot more film.

Wow Macy, It sounds like quite a success. Keep the updates coming for those of us who can't be there.
