Comment by Steve — December 16, 2008 @ 2:00 pm
Fantastic! Count me in for the UK-Cant wait!

Comment by Chryssy — December 17, 2008 @ 3:26 am
Any chance you will be doing any in Charlotte? Or anywhere in the NC area?

Comment by Caroline Ghetes — December 17, 2008 @ 10:02 am
Any chance you’ll be able to make Toronto this year?

Comment by Matej — December 17, 2008 @ 12:29 pm
I think it’s time for you to consider some workshops right here in your country of birth, South Africa too Neil. I’d be the first to sign up.

Comment by Johan — December 18, 2008 @ 8:34 am
oh thank you. May is an insane month, but I will hopefully see you in Nashville!

Comment by Tara K. — December 18, 2008 @ 9:09 am
ever in the Seattle or Portland area?

Comment by Jenny — January 3, 2009 @ 3:44 am
Hey Neil,

Have the Irish dates been set yet??

Cheers

Comment by Mike — January 5, 2009 @ 5:31 am
I took Neil’s class last September – the all day one – and it was the best $500 I spent last year. I highly recommend the all day class to anyone who is considering this. I can’t say enough about how it has changed my photography with the use of fill flash.

Comment by Michelle Forche — January 16, 2009 @ 8:15 am
I’m another one for Toronto.

Comment by Mike — January 19, 2009 @ 1:18 pm
I’m here again, voting for the north west again. I’d love to see something in Vancouver, even Seattle is doable if I can bunk with someone.

Comment by Stefanie — January 19, 2009 @ 8:05 pm
Hi Neil
Just registered for full day workshop in San Francisco. Really looking forward to that.
I saw your Bounce Flash video on Digital Wedding Forum. If you can include those kinds of video on your site, and users can pay per video (can access same video multiple times), that would be great. I am sure there are others like me who will love to watch some video demos for help with Flash photography.
Please keep the good stuff coming.
Thanks.

Hi Neil
Great to see you coming to the Uk and to Birmingham too, my home town! DO you have a venue yet? ALso, how much is the workshop in £ GBP?
Love the site, keep up the excellent work and see you Flickr!

Hi there Alex …

The UK workshop fees are $500, paid via CC over the phone.
There’s still space, but the UK workshops are half-full already.

thanks

Hey Neil,

Is the “Birmingham – July 30, (Thu)” actually Birmingham, AL or Birmingham as in, have to go overseas? trying to get in something close in Birmingham, AL

Comment by David Amberson — February 23, 2009 @ 9:07 pm
David, that would be Birmingham in the UK. : )

Hi Neil

Great site, I drop by every once in a while.
I just have one word for you “Scotland”.

All the best
BK

Come to Seattle pretty please…………….

Comment by Nicole — April 1, 2009 @ 12:54 pm
Seattle and Portland .. I’m tempted, I’m tempted .. but need more people that are interested. It’s a long way to fly out! ; )

Comment by Neil — April 1, 2009 @ 2:46 pm
The flash guru is coming to me home city Birmingham?! What a summer.. now to see if I’m available!!

And hello the the fellow brummies popping up :)

Comment by Damian Brown — April 21, 2009 @ 10:03 am
Will you ever be coming to Amsterdam Neil??
I know so many people here who would absolutely love to follow a workshop from you! I would be the first to sign up!

Comment by Iris — May 6, 2009 @ 9:46 am
Iris, I would love to visit Amsterdam again. If you could get enough interest there from people, it might just be do-able.

Neil vN

Comment by Neil — May 6, 2009 @ 12:40 pm
Hey Neil,

How are you?

Too bad that i will visit New York in October 2009, so i will not have any workshop there, was hoping i can get something there while i am staying there in October for 20 days.

Good luck for me

Comment by Tareq Alhamrani — June 18, 2009 @ 5:18 pm
Excellent, I’d like to see you in Boston.

Comment by VicPellicier — June 30, 2009 @ 10:57 am
Any possibility of a workshop for CA in the near future? :)

Thanks,
Larry

Comment by larry placido — July 25, 2009 @ 12:02 am
Add me as another vote for Toronto – I’ve got two people who would sign up in a second!!

Comment by Jordan — July 25, 2009 @ 8:35 am
I’d second a California weekend workshop (LA, or better, Orange County as this is between LA and San Diego).

Comment by Robert — July 25, 2009 @ 12:20 pm
Neil,
AUSTRALIA!
Great place to have a holiday, combine the two!
I fear that I am a lone voice. All you Aussies out there c’mon!

Comment by Rachel — July 27, 2009 @ 2:28 am
+1 for Australia….

Comment by Edward — July 27, 2009 @ 6:13 am
I agree with Johan – Please Neil, consider a visit & workshop in South Africa

Comment by Izak — July 28, 2009 @ 4:19 am
I have suggested Australia a few times now. Cmon Neil you would love it down here.

We have a growing Strobist movement with just over 1400 members to this group.

Comment by Jason Smith — July 28, 2009 @ 8:28 am
Any chance of coming to San Diego? Huge city… I hope so…Lori

Comment by Lori — July 28, 2009 @ 1:31 pm
California … early next year again. :)

Australia? The flight would be a killer. But let me do my homework on this one. What time of year would be best to visit?

And also, Sydney? Brisbane? Melbourne?

South Africa ..it might be interesting to visit SA again. I miss biltong! and vrugte-lekkers. If I have enough interest, I would definitely consider South Africa.

I’ve had a lot of requests for Toronto … so maybe, maybe sometime soon. :)
What time of year would be best?

I’ve had some requests for Greece, Czechoslovakia and even Japan. I’m definitely interested, but would have to be guided by how many photographers show commitment to having the workshops happen there. :)

Comment by Neil — August 1, 2009 @ 10:06 pm
The flight is not too bad, i haven’t done it for 10 years, but it didn’t leave me scarred. Think IPOD, inflight movies, travel scrabble……. medication!
Daylight savings time would be good but not too hot, so either october/november or march and definitely MELBOURNE!

Comment by Rachel — August 4, 2009 @ 7:51 am
Neil, I took your class in St. Louis, MO. The biggest mistake I made was not taking the all day class. So, the next time you are in St. Louis or anywhere close I will be there.
t ;-(

Comment by Theo — August 4, 2009 @ 9:39 am
When are you going to set your 2010 schedule? Are you doing any spring workshops?

Comment by Aric — August 4, 2009 @ 12:38 pm
Aric … I will most likely announce the 2010 workshops in the next month or two. They will most likely be for California, and possibly Vancouver.

Neil vN

Comment by Neil — August 5, 2009 @ 5:52 am
Thanks for your response Neil! Looking forward to seeing the schedule. I hope to make one one day.

Comment by Aric — August 6, 2009 @ 6:28 am
I’m another Aussie who would sign up in an instant!!!

Comment by Nichole — October 2, 2009 @ 1:53 am
Hey Neil, is there any chance you will be back in Denver,Co. next year? and when?

Comment by Stacy Rodriguez — October 2, 2009 @ 9:06 am
Stacy, as mentioned in this updated post, there won’t be any travelling workshops next year – just three 2-day workshops to be held in the NJ/NYC area.

Neil vN

Comment by Neil — October 2, 2009 @ 10:18 am
I’m sorry I didn’t read the updated post. I at least have the book and I will still follow your blog. you have been an awsome teacher and just want to say thank you:)

Comment by stacy rodriguez — October 6, 2009 @ 10:57 pm
Hi Neil, if you would be able to make a workshop in the Czech Republic, there would be lots of photographers who would sign up. Prague is a lovely city with historical as well as modern architecture. I have written you e-mail about it a few months ago but it seems that it ended in you spam filter I guess.

Comment by Tom — November 10, 2009 @ 8:21 am
Tom .. I must apologize. I did get your email, but at the moment my inbox is 200 emails deep (on Tangents related topics) as I try to get through the August – October crunch period with weddings.

I would genuinely love to see Prague. If you are able to get a group of photographers together, then that would be great!

Neil vN

Comment by Neil — November 10, 2009 @ 2:18 pm
I have just send you an e-mail ;) Thank you for your comment – it pleased me!

Comment by Tom — November 11, 2009 @ 3:59 pm
Looks like I will be traveling to your neck of the woods next year, then!
