    I was unavoidably delayed and couldn't make it to this. If anyone would jot down some of the highlights of his talk here, I would be very grateful!

    I learned a lot about stock photos - what they are, how they're offered for sale, and how one Photoshop artist makes them. We also got a lot of information about John's workflow and self management. It was an evening of great images, valuable insights, and useful information - an excellent event.

    I really enjoyed John Lund's insight. I think he has a lot of proven practical knowledge to offer.

    I've seen John's work but never heard him speak until today. He has a real laid back fun way of not just teaching how he does things but, he entertains by telling us the stories behind the teaching. It's a great concept, never boring, never dull. Thanks again to Marie and everyone involved. Pizza, soda and fun people makes for yet again another enjoyable night.

    Great presentation. Enjoyed John's talk and approach to sharing his profession with us. Not heavy on the technical (thank you), but great stories about what sells, the business cycles, and his approach to being creative. Gave me new insight into this particular approach to being a professional photographer.

    My first time; glad I came.
  • loupiote
    that was interesting. John Lund's work is very different from my work, and i would never want to do the type of manipulated images he creates, but it was very interesting to hear his presentation, tanks.

    I thought the talk was very enlightening; John is a funny and creative guy and it was great for him to share his vision with us.
  • Oscar Anderson
    Very enjoyable presentation by John Lund, but where I was sitting (3rd row on the left), there was noise from air conditioning or refrigeration or whatever, and I had trouble hearing. The Meetup crew did a great job running the event.
