<p>I can tell you that in the wedding industry we're getting many "$1000+" seminars by well respected photographers, however, they are for 2 days! The problem I have is that these are the same photogs that preach about sharing and networking and are the real "givers" in the industry. After shelling out the dough to these rock stars and you review the info, you'll find that the real nuggets could have been covered in 1 day. What you're really getting is inspiration to pursue your passion ala Tony Robbins. The technical info can be gained very cheap ie; forums, dvd's, meetup groups, etc.. Style can be developed over time. Don't get me wrong, there are some excellent photogs giving great info. I disagree with the principle of making up loss revenue due to economic conditions, on the wallets of your fellow colleagues and students...but they are "givers". </p>

<p>FYI - Darr photography is also "Kristi Darr artist" www.kristidarr.com</p>

Let us know how the Seattle seminar went...or if it existed.

Darr photography collected money from me to build my photography web site in Sept 2008. The site was going to be based on a Bludomain template that they were going to customize to some degree. It has been 2 months since I paid them. I have not spoken to Kristi Darr or Landon Darr since they collected the money. They haved emailed me to tell me they would call. They have not returned any of my calls.

 

Darr photography was doing webinars through Marathon publishing. I found out that Marathon has since terminated their association for undisclosed reasons. Beware of this couple. Every professional photographer I have spoken to on the East and West coast speaks words of caution about them.

We could have resolved this with a simple phone call.

They have a workshop in LasVegas on Nov 19. I think I'll be there
