rick sammon's lectures?

[chevysales]

i see from canon's schedule at explorers of light web site (feb dates.... http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=EventCalendarAct (http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=EventCalendarAct) ) they have a hour rick sammon lecture (i assume thats what it is) as it's one hour and at science musuem in connecticut this sunday.

it only costs $8.50 for musuem entry and the lecture is free. it's like 20-30 minutes from me so thinking of attending it as i have never done anything like it before.

just wondering if anyone has ever attended one of these and any comments they may have on it?

thanx

They have something in Dayton, Ohio the 1st of March and I would be interested in hearing your views on the program.

I went to a Rick Sammon lecture last year for $10. Well worth it! I assume Canon subsidizes the cost. And you get to try some Canon bodies and lenses.

my understanding after calling the musuem is that it is a slide show/lecture...no equipment to be presented but he does briefly go over how he setup each shot.

i didn't expect much (as far as going over equipment etc.) in such a short time frame so if presented ok i imagine it to be well worth the drive with regards to his work which to my eyes always seems to reflect a bright quality to it.

great time and well worth the price of admission to the digital museum...all this week are some awesome things available...

a few days for mac users and the software like garage band and audition for the sound people.

but rick puts on a great presentation...so glad i went.

I've viewed some of his video lectures and have several of his books. He's very informative, interacts well with his audience...I've learned a lot from him & would love to attend his lectures IRL if given the opportunity.
