     Has to be one of the best Meetup Groups ever. Wide variety of events, many at little or no cost, almost all 5-star learning experiences, and the ones that weren't "5-star" still were good or very good.

     it has been the second event i have attended and i love it, i like that we meet as a group but we can also venture out and do our own thing. i would never just go out to any of the locations on my own and shot away. Today April 11 2007 was the first time i attended a discussion and i loved it.

     Exposure to people that have a passion for photography will raise your own passion for it. I always want to get out and shoot after every meeting/event. And I find that I definitely do get out between events much more often than when I do not have the inspiration of this group. Just a great, friendly, inspiring, knowledgeable group of people.

     Great group of people who are willing to share and educate you about photography. This is not a photo club, but an organization that is out here to help educate beginners, amateurs and professionals alike. Its a wonderful opportunity to meet new people with the same interest (assuming you love photography) and network.

     Just a superb way to spend the day. I was a little tired after working in the yard for three hours; otherwise, I would have been out there early and stayed late. We are very lucky to have Banafsheh in this group.

  •  I learned a lot from the members who had more experience. 

    —A former member on Jul 3, 2007.

  •  I am learning alot and I feel that Banafsheh is very approachable and that I will be able to ask her a lot of questions as I progress as a photographer. I love her passion, it is contagious. Not many people actually get goose bumps when they talk about what they love - that was awesome.

  •  It was amazing. Definitely a number of future visits on the horizon. Everyone I spoke with seemed to be having a great time. Definitely, a great time had by all. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had to leave at 3:00. However, I arrived at 11:00. Thank you - Organizers and everyone who made the effort to attend another great Meetup event. A perfect photographic workshop!

  •  This was the first photo meetup I was actually able to attend and that didn't get cancelled in the last 5 months, so I was really excited that so many people showed up and were willing to share information. 

    —A former member on Oct 14, 2004.

  •  Some of the older members of the group were friendly, but the rest were not. This surprised me. I'm a part of other meet-ups and have had good experiences with them. I'm not sure that I will continue as a member given my first encounter. 

    —A former member on Sep 23, 2007.

  •  Looking forward to using what I learned this week and to next week's session. 

    —A former member on Mar 23, 2006.

  •  Maybe we can try meeting out in a suburb - I suspect several of us live out in 128-land and it might be easier for city-dwellers to come out to the burbs than it is for others to drive in and find parking ...
