And at the end of each day, when I reviewed my notes and scoped my images, I felt such joy and a sense of accomplishment. Glenn, your knowledge of everything Greek and the fact that you speak the language further enriched the experience.  I have a long way to go as a photographer, but I feel that a firm foundation has been laid from the knowledge I gained through this workshop. You are not only a fantastic, seasoned photographer,  but you are also a wonderful teacher.   My only regret is that Rose was not with us.  But perhaps next time, for I know our paths will cross again. Efkaristo, Glenn.</span><font color="#c0c0c0"> <font color="#c0c0c0">-(</font></font><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Mary T., New York, NY '07</strong></span><font color="#c0c0c0">)-</font></font></p> <p class="text"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">"<font size="2"><font face="Arial" size="2">Thank you for such a wonderful experience.  It was so good to have you as a travel guide, as well as a photo workshop leader, during my time in Santorini.  It was a gift for which I am very grateful.  You may be interested to know that you whetted my appetite for Greek culture and literature.  I finished Nicholas Gage's book entitled "Hellas, a Portrait of Greece", and I am nearly finished reading "Christ Recrucified" by Nikos Kazantzakis.  I highly recommend it if you haven't already read it. And last week I purchased, "Sailing the Wine Dark Sea" by Thomas Cahill. That's next on my list to read.  I hope all is well with you, and look forward to the benefit of your critique once I get my photos to you.   Also looking forward to the possibility of a 2009 trip to Greece on one of your workshops.</font></font></span><font color="#c0c0c0"><font size="2"><font face="Arial" size="2">   <font color="#c0c0c0">-(</font></font></font></font><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><font size="2"><font face="Arial" size="2"><strong>Sheila C., Atlanta, Ga.

The honor of meeting President Bush in Tirana was of course a highlight  and each city I spent time in had a unique charm but nothing really  affected me as deeply as my time spent in the workshop in Santorini.  To be specific I thought the group cohesiveness was amazing. Everyone was so different and each person's personality and talent was a lovely asset to the experience. Your knowledge of Greek history and culture was just amazing. I had many tour guides during my travels and none of them compared to you. I was spoiled by seeing the real Greece through the eyes of an artist. The things I learned during the workshop came to me as I went "meandering" off on my own away from all the tourists. I would hear a whisper in my ear, "turn around and look"  the picture could be there and I would become immersed in my surroundings. I arose early in the morning to chase the light and see how the city awoke, thank you for getting me used to the 5am wake-up. I know you don't think I paid attention but I'm a multi tasker and I  really do absorb even when I'm doing something else when you're talking.

The early morning tour of the Kastro on Leros, cafes in small towns and villages, sunset at Marathi, people-watching in Patmos, and that amazing entry to Vathys on our first day are just some of the many wonderful things we experienced.

And I was delighted when you carried on a conversation with a quintessential old gentleman in Greek, securing his permission to pose.

With the help of Glen and Rose's local expertise, I was able see and capture the typical environment with a fresh eye. I was also introduced to the topical, individual character of the different places on the island. Naturally, the tips and observations and added to the experience -- notes on archaeology, the world's largest concrete cactus tipped over by locals during the night, wine-making boots, and a glass of cool Greek wine by the water.

I was introduced to people, places and ideas, which stimulated my creativity and photographic vision. The scenery and people of Greece are unsurpassed for a photographic journey. We visited small towns and villages which are still un-spoiled by commercial tourism. We traveled by ferry as the Greeks do to local islands to see and experience a way of life that is still simple and un-hurried. From waking up early and chasing the morning light to discussing great photography over a rooftop dinner overlooking the Caldera, the trip was a great mix of the epicurean, the educational and the wondrous sights of this ancient civilization.</span></p> <p class="text"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I feel that my images have improved by leaps and bounds in both stylistic and technical respects. Glenn offers suggestions and answers questions with unfailing patience and really made me feel like he was there to help me and show me Greece and photography in a very personal way. This is not a commercialized, by-the-clock workshop with hired guns telling you where to point your cameras. This is an intimate and personalized tour with an artist who knows and loves this culture. These are the qualities portrayed in my images from this trip. It's not what I expected, but I wouldn't have it any other way. </span>-(<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Steve G., Los Angeles, CA</strong> <strong>'06</strong></span>)<br />  </p> <p class="text"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Greek Island photography class was one of the most valuable experiences of my life. Glenn's open classroom went far beyond mere instruction regarding topics of composition, lighting, and equipment. His fluency in the language, along with his knowledge of, and enthusiasm for Greek Island life, history, architecture and culture, afforded tremendous insights in a limited amount of time. Likewise, Glenn's wife Rose was a tremendous asset in providing logistical help and structure to the program while allowing ample flexibility to explore & create. </span></p> <p class="text"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">From the early light bouncing quietly off the ancient white washed walls to the delicate pink hue of the late afternoon sun setting, my lens was filled with wonder for eight days. We embarked on daily walking journeys through the narrow winding pathways of the villages, discovering interesting architecture, the natives and their culture, and many donkeys and mules being led through the narrow paths from ocean to cliff side while Glenn offered his expertise. Our diverse group ended our day by dining in the tavernas where we enjoyed locally made wine, fried tomato dumplings, grilled peppers, white eggplant, mousaka, fish, and Greek salads. </span></p> <p class="text"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This workshop provided me hands-on training which will allow me take my photography to new levels and the memories of the experience as a whole, will be with me a lifetime.</span> -(<strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Karin R., Beulah, CO '05</span></strong>) <font color="#cccccc">View some of <a href="http://www.karinwithaneye.com"><strong><font color="#0000ff">Karin's work</font></strong></a></font>.</p> <p>  </p> <div class="text"> <br /> <font color="#ffd5ac"><strong><img align="right" alt="" border="0" height="238" src="/users/GlennSteiner1388/docs/Sifnos-Church-nr-Kato-Petal.gif" width="166" /></strong></font><br />  </div> <p class="text"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Glenn's passions for photography and Greece itself are infectious.
