Words can not express the amazing experience and inspiration the aspired at the Jose Villa Workshop. It has been a dream of mine to go to one of his workshops for years and I am beyond blessed and thrilled to have finally attended the 2013 Mexico workshop. I will admit I was both terrified and excited to get on the plane and join 20 other photographers and some amazing vendors, not to mention Jose Villa!!! It was such an incredible experience from the moment I arrived. I started soaking in all the information at LAX (thanks Brian) and then it didn’t stop. To be honest I am still revisiting the images and information everyday and remembering how marvelous it was and missing everyone there. My fellow photography classmates were so much fun and we all had a great time. I am so glad to have met and connected with so many other photographers that will be friends for life. 😉 And the team that was there to help inspire and create such a wonderful and encouraging life changing workshop was outstanding! I love you all and thank you so much for your time and efforts. You have no idea how inspiring, helpful and welcoming you made me (and I am sure all of us) feel. Thank you for opening your hearts and taking the time to teach us and giving us a fantastic workshop.
