“I returned to The Land of Enchantment with all kind of ideas about photo projects and invigorated with the art and craft of Photography. In the past I have done photography in a desultory manner; perhaps i am diffident about my talent in this respect. Your workshop inspired me to take/make more pictures, and to do it on a regular basis.”
– Alvaro Enciiso, Galcitas, NM

“Your workshop is life changing to me. I am already planning on attending your Zen and the Art of Photography in Sept. You are such an inspiration and you do such a great job with choosing the right poems – words of depth and soul searching. The flow of assignments building on to each other and pushing us to stretch were incredible. You are continuing to master the art of growth for others and I very much appreciate your wisdom and experience.”
– Gigi Johnson, Coos Bay, OR

“I can’t tell you how much Breitenbush did for me, really made me feel alive again.  Forget the photography, it was a great experience in terms of my overall well being.”
– Blake Martin, Pittsburgh, PA

“Appreciation’ sounds too weak.  I’d rather say, ‘Namaste’ to everyone.  There is something deeply special when we gather to share ourselves through things we care about.  Art is just a vehicle, but it’s a good one!”
– Jack Semura, Portland OR
