Questions?

I will try to refrain from doing much chatting on facebook or gmail chat about the subject to help save me some time to get pictures edited to free up time to do these workshops.
FAQ
What can we do to show our appreciation?
Advertise this event for me… so I can get to my editing and be prepared for this workshop.
Also you can become fans of JarvieDigital on Facbebook
Why only one week notice?
Because I’ve been busy and now I have a brake.
These are the dates that worked best for me and the location.
From the 18th of april until the 2nd of may I’ll have 7 weddings… so I need to do it before then.
Will there be other opportunities?
Pete at East Bay studios is kind enough to let me use the facility and suggested that doing more in the months to come could be an opportunity.
I can see doing a month one either beginning or intermediate (rotating) could be an option.
We’ll see what the demand is and I’ll go from there.
Personally I’m not opposed… I like teaching and I only get better each time.
I’m considering strongly throwing in a twist the next time… adding a little photography teaching to go with that editing teaching. haha
How many people can attend?
Each time I’ve doubled the capacity.
I’ve done so again… we will now allow 80 people.
This time I believe it will fill up fast.
Please RSVP soon.
Will there be food?
Remember this is all casual.
But Yes! We will accept money at the very beginning of the class
We will then send a runner out to get the food.
Dinner &/or desert.
You can put minimum $4 down on pizza
And minimum $2 down on RootBeer floats
Anything left over in the funds will go to say thanks to EastBay/VIP studios for hosting us.
Is there a cost?
NO, I will not be charging a fee if that’s what you mean.
We will take donations for Food and donations in general, to say thanks to EastBay/VIP Studios.
If we have left overs I might grab some stuff to bring to the next class to give away.
I might be pimping the opportunity to do one on one personal lightroom training sessions. (Lightroom Personal Trainer)
But really it’s not even in my long term life plans nor a part of how I make a living… I’ll do it mainly because I know there’s a desire, and I’m cool like that.
Are their giveaways?
Yes a couple hour of my time that night. haha
But other than that… I’ll look into it.
You guys can come up with ideas for giveaways.
I need to edit and not spend all my time looking for giveaways… haha
What are you teaching?
I would say it’s oriented to teaching how to be both Fast/Efficient while raising the quality of work.
I focus on workflow and how to deal with large quantities of images.
After all I have 5,000 images waiting for me to edit at this very moment.
What is your teaching style?
Fast and furious!
This isn’t a dumb class where I wait until everyone understands everything.
We’ll cover tons and tons of information in a relatively short period of time.
Basically think of long 5 hour intensive classes you’ve been to…
Take that amount of information add a little more and we’ll try to cover that in less than half the time.
Will you answer my individual concerns and questions?
Probably not. My assistant might.
But in most cases I’ll take your question and just extend this FAQ and give you a link to it 
haha
Do you have any more answers?
Not unless you supply the questions
Julian Gomez

Yes, I’ll come, and try to have $6 for pizza & floats plus $5 more to pay Dougie back, since he ended up buying all the gas for our Eureka trip.
It looks like I’m not an ignoramus after all; the writer on my Mac doesn’t work. Perhaps I CAN be taught Lightroom!

I would love to get in on the intermediate class (Thursday the 16th)! I can come help with any preparations too if you need it! Pizza and rootbeer always sound great to me! I also want to join the Advanced group. We can hold meetings at my house if you want.

Hey Scott- i loved the class on the 14th. Blogged about it with a great photo of jarvie the twitter king… http://jennanelsonphotography.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/04/lightroom-sensei.html
I hope you do this again sometime. Would love to attend. JaG
Needed to draft you this very little observation to thank you so much over again for those wonderful thoughts you have featured above. It has been surprisingly open-handed of you to present publicly all many of us could possibly have marketed as an ebook to generate some money on their own, especially given that you might well have done it if you considered necessary. The concepts also acted as the fantastic way to realize that many people have the same fervor similar to mine to understand good deal more when it comes to this condition. I think there are millions of more fun times ahead for individuals who look into your blog.
