Why are you talking about? In case when I was supposed to be talking about Lindsay started a huge, huge thank you to Linz Protego. They've been providing $100 gift certificates for every class I've had this week. They are amazing gear rental company. So you can rent camera bodies. You can rent those big, expensive lenses to try them out before you purchase them. They're my gear sponsor. They hooked me up with an amazing A 72 300 millimeter L Siri's can and lens to take to Italy. And I just shot like, crazy with it. So they're the only gear rental company that is run by actual photographer. So every single person that works there, even there Countess have photography businesses. They ship all their gear in pelican cases, so those cases are nearly indestructible, and they turn over their gear several times a y...

As much as I love CreativeLive courses - I was somewhat disappointed with this one. What caught my eye today (11/15/17) was that the class was being broadcast for free. I made the (incorrect) assumption that it was actually being "taped" today. This material is quite old. I wish CreativeLive would put the original "broadcast" date in their materials - or, if they do, make it easy and clear to find. I also found that this instructor was not as professional as others. She frequently used words like "pissed off", etc. when talking about models and companies. She also came across as being "short" with the hosts when it came to answering student questions. I'm not a prude by any means, but when I am paying for a class, I always hope for, and expect professionalism. I am still giving this course a "thumbs up" because most of the information that I received was good, but I just wish it was a little more current. Chris

For a starter, it is a good course, I am not sure if it's up to date, like what Cynthia said below, but it sure gave me a push to consider this project seriously, those saved images lying there in my hard desk should get out there with benefit.

I really enjoyed Lesa's webinar. It gave me the encouragement and information I needed to apply to iStock. My photos were accepted on my first try, and I owe a lot of that to this class. Thanks Lesa!
