Learn combinations of apps that transform your images into fine art.

Surely there's another planet in a far off galaxy somewhere I can move to ... this is embarrasing!

Ha!!!
This is great..

Wow, more power to him if he gets people to bite, but damn... a fool and his money, blah blah blah

"powerful, creative tool for creating art, right in our palms."

Pretty much sums it up 😀

Do they even have cell phone service where this is planned? 😱

There seems to be cell phone service most anywhere except some remote areas in the interior.

I think I'd go for the workshop on Fine Art Nude Photography in Iceland. Iceland is a rather cool place and should make for some interesting nude photography - i'd take a camera with a high shutter speed so that I'd be able to freeze (pun intended) the shivering of the model.

One week in a hotel there could cost $4,000 -$5000. Cost of hotel is included.

In spite of the name, Iceland has a lot of geothermal energy which is harnessed. These people are not freezing. They may actually be soaking in a bikini in a natural hot pool.

Some people really overrate their "skills".

I think he's succeeding in marketing though! 😀

I'd be interested to know the take up rate?

Ridiculous. I thought the PODAS workshops from Phase One were expensive. But there you have in the workshop a 60MP digital camera, lenses, a capture one license you can keep and prints.

Come on, lads. Surely this chap has just picked up on that great American motto: "There's a sucker born every minute"?

😀

 

[Setarip]

Wow! LOL. I feel sorry for the person who buys into this. I remember a couple of years ago before I knew anything about photography I thought that the iphone was an amazing camera...lets just say if I need to laugh I just think about that for a minute.

 

[Vobluda]

Any vacancy left?

I spent a couple of minutes looking at the webpage to find a posting date, as I expected it to be 1st. April . . . .

Well, he does mention 'humor' in the last sentence...

Very funny.😛

I'll confess that among some American entrepreneurs that would seem to be a common theme. That saying is generally attributed to P.T. Barnum of circus fame, but apparently he never said it. Here's a short but fascinating article purporting to report the actual origins of the phrase "There's a sucker born every minute."

If they do NOT have cell phone service, it is worth $7500...
