I'm still using the "old" interface, maybe I should try using the new one.<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-55355334949464463852012-01-30T13:51:14.141+00:002012-01-30T13:51:14.141+00:00Sounds like fun.

I've said all my thanks in the email sent last night, but felt it only appropriate to post a comment too with my thanks.<br /><br />To other readers of The Idiotic Hat: let me assure you that Mike, in person, is every bit as entertaining, informative, opinionated and generous with his time and thoughts as he is on the web.

Cooper on a residential workshop. My take can be seen here:<br /><br />http://idiotic-hat.blogspot.com/2009/02/peter-goldfield.html<br /><br />I get the feeling the time might be right for it all to happen again -- any entrepreneurs out there please note!<br /><br />As for looking stern, well, it's a a serious business!<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-90597524463742734102012-01-30T08:13:16.376+00:002012-01-30T08:13:16.376+00:00Hi Mike, really enjoyed your presentation yesterda...Hi Mike, really enjoyed your presentation yesterday and sorry it became such a rush having to arrive early. What should have been such a leisurely meeting of the group turned into something of a 'hot pursuit'.<br /><br />I was taking notes during your presentation, not so much in setting up my own personal blog, but why we do what we do, often with real passion almost to the point of being fanatical, I know I do. One point that struck a chord was when you said about "seeking a Personal Truth", this is so important and I know the American photographer, Robert Adams is also passionate about. And as photographers why do we 'really' take photographs?<br /><br />Thanks again for your time and effort in putting on such a good 'show'. But my word I do look stern in your opening photograph :-)Trevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880552975238021434noreply@blogger.com
