"Thank you for creating a space where everyone, from newbie to pro, could feel comfortable asking questions. Your explanations were concise, easy to understand, and never condescending. Really first class."  Chad Slattery, Boot Camp Survivor

"When I came in this morning I didn't know how to turn the camera on.  Now I feel confident I can shoot with this camera professionally..no problem."  - Karl Morgan, Boot Camp Survivor

"I am so glad I did the Canon Boot Camp.  The very next week I got a Doritos Commercial shooting with the 7D.  The Director had his opinions about the DSLR's and the Gaffer had his opinions but I had the confidence to tell them what I learned at the Boot Camp and they went with my input. That wouldn't have happened if I hadn't done the drills and really learned the camera."    Lawrence Ribeiro, Extreme Shooter & Boot Camp Survivor
