BeDAzZLed North American Workshops 2008

(I TOOK ALL OF THESE PICTURES DURING MY NORTH AMERICAN WORKSHOPS 2008.)

Bedazzled... that's how I explain my emotional state during my North American 2008 Workshops.
The people I met and worked with were some of the most talented and passionate bunch.
I couldn't ask for anything more. I was in awe.
I was bedazzled!

This gallery is dedicated to all of my North American participants.
Thanks for the creativity... thanks for the friendship.

Manny, to achieve a unique style like the one you have mastered is something many photographers aspire to, but very few manage, and therein lies the genius of your photography --one can easily spot a "Manny Librodo" from afar. Congratulations on another job masterfully done, my friend, and best of luck in your upcoming workshops with JoeL, another great talent and favorite of mine.

TLC		18-Aug-2008 15:55
