Thanks, Miserere! I think it well worth the money . And I should have mentioned that Zack and Joe have are very different on money issues: Zack would tell you not to buy anything that you do not need right now. And to seek for cheap alternatives. For example he uses a cheap golf bag instead of a a dedicated photo bag, because it is few times cheaper and it does what it should do. Same thing with lighting - Zack will almost always use a single light. Only if he feels that the subject calls for additional lights he will add more very carefully. Joe has top-notch equipment and his lighting schemes are usually quite complicated, I doubt he often shoots with a single light. So at Zack's workshop you can learn howto use a single light, how to play with modifiers. At Joe's workshop you can try a lot of different cool thing - soft boxes, reflectors, flashes, diffusers.... I am very happy that I attended those workshops in this order: first Zack, next Joe. And I was about to chose one it would be Zack's. But both are excellent!
