The workshop consisted of four parts :
In the first part (short) Joe showed some photos of him and commented on them.
Second part: he showed how would use some of the equipment (starting
with one flash on camera, moving up to four lights in different
set-ups, commenting all the way and showing what he shoot on a
laptop). That was cool and very educational.
Third part: we, in group of four were assigned to model (or she was
assigned to us), grabbed whatever equipment we needed and went out
and shoot for four hours.
Joe circled around, help a bit here and there.
Oh, I forgot to say that in the middle of second part Moose Peterson
came, with his family - Joe did not expect him coming but it was
obviously a pleasant surprise.
Moose also helped here and there a little.
Third part - a quick wrap-up. That was done too fast I think - too
many frames shoot (20 photographers, 4 hours, some shoot series).
Overall I was a nice experience.
Models were great, especially Crystal - the one that we four worked with.
Compared to Zack Arias's workshop i attended before...
Well, this was completely different.
Here we had complete freedom, so we made more mistakes, some set-up I
failed to anything from.
With Zack we would create a set-up himself so we are were starting from that.
I do not know which i like more.
Some (ir)relevant information:
Pentax K20d, 21mm& 77mm primes.
Thanks,

Very cool, Sasha. Did you take any ribbing about not being a Nikon or
Canon shooter? :-) I presume flash triggering in the lighting setups
was all done with loaned Pocket Wizards.
Just curious, which city did you catch his workshop in? He doesn't ever
seem to come up to Canada (I think perhaps there are some issues with
photographers crossing the border into Canada to work), so I've been
idly pondering the cost of a flight to New York to catch him there.
Really glad to hear you enjoyed the experience. I really like his
writing style and the general exuberance he displays for the entire
process. Just reading his Hot Shoe Diaries was a great learning
experience and inspired me to dig right in seriously to lighting.
Thanks for the review and gallery.
