"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your Lightroom 3: Beyond the Basics workshop. You made the software useable for me. It was a pleasure meeting you and watching a master present a subject he really cares about." Jerome Hart Jerome Hart Photography Portland, OR ______________ "Mark, I was really impressed by your presentation, very insightful, investigative, and well illustrated and documented. I was personally able to take away some good information and challenge some of my conceptions (misconceptions) of the camera profiling process." Gary Hush Gary Hush Photography Portland, OR ______________ "Mark, thanks so much for being part of our event. I was so impressed with your presentation style. Your organization, your pacing, the tone of your presentation made it easy to listen. Dennis Wilson Navigate Photography Seattle ______________ "I have managed several computer technology training organizations in both the federal government and private sector as well as acted as a technology instructor myself. I have been in technology and related training for over 20 years. Bottom line - Mark is one of the best technology instructors I have ever encountered." Michael Anderson West Linn, OR ______________ "I recently attended two brilliantly designed sessions on Lightroom and Photoshop presented by Mark Fitzgerald. His confidence in his ability and the depth of his knowledge was displayed many times through his willingness to answer basic and advanced questions during his presentations. His examples were dramatic and to the point, and easy for all to see. His style is more like that of a committed coach having a conversation with a team member. It's easy to feel he's only talking to you." Marc Weinberg Seattle, WA |
