Sunday is the beginning of the week for my first of three photography workshops at the Santa Fe Workshops in Santa Fe (naturally), NM. The topic is "Mastering Your Flash". I have spent most of the week gathering the stuff I need to take and getting organized. The list of equipment that you must bring is extensive.

• Camera
• Film or memory cards
• Lens(es)
• Flash(es)
• Wireless transmitter or cords to get Flash off the camera
• PC connection on camera body
• Manuals
• Laptop (if shooting digital)
• Optional: light stand
• Optional: adaptor to mount flash on light stand
• Optional: diffusers
• Tripod

Fortunately, I have all these things except I couldn't find the diffuser. So I ran out to Photomark to buy a replacement. And the last request is a portfolio of your best images. Since Julia did not specify a number, I went with six — which was the number requested by the instructor for one of my other classes. I guess it will have to do. Even though most of you have seen these images already, I thought I would share them again — let's just call them "summer re-runs". Enjoy.
