Well now, it’s been just over a week since the very first Active Photographer Jolly – and still the banter is making its way around the interwebs!
Seriously, I couldn’t have been happier with the way things went, and I must say I’m quite humbled by the comments I’ve received from everyone. They just go to support what I had hoped for all along – that the Jolly isn’t just a place for learning photography techniques, but an opportunity to forge new friendships with like-minded individuals at the same time as honing one’s picture-making skills.
The first crop of attendees have followed up that outing in such generous ways. To begin, I asked them all to put their (frank and honest) thoughts down on paper – and the responses were very enlightening! Some of the key points raised will be making their way into the next event [Ed – to be announced very shortly!], without question.
So, rather than take my word for it, here are a number of great write-ups you might like to take a look at:
Gareth wrote two – that’s right, two! – posts… The Active Photographer – A Jolly Review and A Weekend Of Learning. Alvin left some thoughts in the comments section of podcast Episode #39. Eleanor sent a very nice Word document, which she kindly agreed to let me publish; you can read it beneath Alvin’s comments here.
So, a great big thank you to everyone who came along and made out first outing such a success – I can’t wait to see you at future Jolly!
