Well, I am now back home after a great 3 1/2 day Tony Sweet Workshop in Cuyahoga Valley National Park and surrounding environs just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. As I said before this was my first photography workshop of any kind and I really, really enjoyed it. Day 3 began with a morning shoot in [...]
