So when you doing a seminar in New Zealand ?

[Mark McCall]

Desmond,
That's a long way from Texas, to be sure.
We have several programs around the country still in the works for 2007, so I'd have to get past those before I could even THINK about leaving the country.
I'll keep it in mind for 2008, though. (You'll be a full blown expert making millions by then).

[Mr. Pickles]

Is we allowed to wear ratty lookin' PhotoCamel t-shirts to dem seminars, or what?

I ain't got one, but could git one if'n I needed one. Do we need boots too?

[Mark McCall]

Bulls**t gets pretty deep....better bring them boots.

[Mr. Pickles]

It is in Texas

[Mark McCall]

I must have forgotten you live in Tulsa.
I was just there doing a program back in November at the University. (I think it was Tulsa U).

I have several friends with studios in the area.
Do you know Billie London Kahn, Rick Goncher, Don Hayden or Gary Box?

[Mr. Pickles]

Do I know them? Nope. I have heard of one of them though. Does that count? If I knew them, I'd get into a Seminar for free, right?

[Mark McCall]

If your serious about attending, your welcome to join me in Wichita Falls....I'll getcha in for free.
I'll let them know your my assistant whos meeting me there.

I'll be in Oklahoma City sometime in 2007. Fees are still in negotiation.
I'll keep you advised.

[Mr. Pickles]

Man, being able to put "Mark's Assistant" on a business card would be better (financially) than having "Photography Hall of Fame Member" on it.

I'll check some things and let you know. Good enough?

[chucklyman]

Hay Mark! I can't attend the one in Texs either. What about one near Chicago. Like here in Rockford. And if that is not possible. What about your CD's? What do they have one them and would you sell them?

[Mark McCall]

Chuck,
I didn't know you'd posted here...sorry it took so long to get back to you.

I have two CD's
"Creating your own studio brochure on CD".
A five time National An-Ne Award winner for excellence in wedding marketing, this CD takes you step by step through the process of creating an interactive CD presentation for your studio. A virtual business card on CD.
$35.

"20 Lighting and Portrait setups"
This CD outlines 20 of my favorite location and studio images that have won Merit level status.
It's all PDF's, easily printable.
Diagrams show the image, as well as how I created it, with all necessary information...ISO, shutter speed, aperture, focal length, flash output, ect.
$35.
I've made this one a free download for 'Camel users.
Here's the link:

Thanks Mark for your responce. I think I would like to order "Studio brochure on CD" I booked my first wedding this last week but it is some time away and I hope to book more before the summer is over. getting that first wedding is such a hard task. I looked into the "David's Bridal" vendor program, but it is too expensive for a beginner such a I. Also, YES I do want to attend one of your programs if you are near the Rockfod area. Again, Thanks! Hope to talk again soon.
Added note: I have tried several times to download the " :-[ the free program you spoke of with no luck. . could be my system but I have tried it on 2 computers.
