Well after numerous reminders it has taken me this long to write a testimonial for Julie Fletcher, because quite frankly, I had to get it right! I have now attended two workshops and so right there lies the answer to the question….why would I go back for a second time?
My friend Barb and I first met Julie in July 2014. Feeling extra special as we were the only participants, and having attended other photography ‘outings’, we agreed we had learnt much more than any other.
Driving home from Marree our heads were spinning trying to retain what we had learnt, and with excited discussion as to when we could get back for another session!
To our delight Julie contacted us in late February to see if we’d be interested in returning in March, with a night out on the lake a dangling carrot!
Well is the Pope Catholic?! No carrot needed!
Our second instalment was just as informative (& hopefully not as frustrating for Julie waiting for us to ‘get it’ as I’m sure a lot sunk in on the first trip….?!). Plus we made new friends, with whom we now have the special memory of witnessing an aurora at Marree! Who would have thought?!
We are all planning to keep in touch & organise our own photography outings – we might invite Julie if she can keep up with us………
Of course I cannot finish without mentioning Lyall. When Barb & I walked back in to the roadhouse it was like we’d come home, with a big warm welcome from both Lyall & Julie. It now seems we have known them forever and I’m sure won’t be the last time we visit Marree.
If you’re thinking about doing a photography workshop, do this one.
Mad if you don’t.
