“On workshops I find that strangers quickly become friends, and that friendship continues via social media interactions and further workshops. Having a strong common interest (photography) usually makes it much easier to create lasting friendships within the workshop environment. I find that you can learn a few months worth of photography in just one week because all of your senses are heightened when visiting a foreign land.”

“My introduction to iPhone photography was one of those eureka moments. I was doing street photography in Mexico with a large Canon DSLR, extended battery pack and enormous lens when I realized I wasn’t having any fun. So I put my pro gear back in my villa and decided to try out my iPhone – it was light-weight, unobtrusive and fun. I was instantly hooked! - Mark Hemmings”
