Skip, thank you so much for everything. I think you are an extraordinary teacher and a beautiful human being!  It has been a pleasure taking your classes and getting to know you. All the best, and I will look forward to taking another of your classes as soon as I can. (Benjamin Pasamanick, Contemplative Photography, fall 2016)

Thank you for the valuable tips. Your workshop has been a great learning for me and has inspired and initiated me in the world of photography. Your wonderful photography exercises expanded my horizon towards photography. I look forward to learning from you again. Wish you good luck and a very happy holiday season. (Ruchi Gupta, Contemplative Photography, fall 2016)

It was a really great experience to see such high level work presented and hear the group critique. I can see what the group members meant when they said they always seem to learn something from each gathering. I also was struck by how much the group—most of them having been shooting for many decades— seem to be most interested in post production techniques. It seems that's where the excitement is and that was interesting to see. (Randi Rosenblum, Fall Light, Photographing the Social Landscape, 2016)

I'm so grateful you're in my life. I love you and your ministries. We nourish and nurture one another. (Wendy Geiger)
