I did a photo workshop in Northern Michigan June 8-11. The workshop registrar, Winnie Johnston, captured this image of me on a workshop field trip, and she wrote this:
“This is my photography mentor, adviser, coach, guide, instructor, teacher, tutor, or my personal favorite descriptor YODA (one who knows) Jim Doty, photographer and author. He is my Mr. Miyagi and I am Young Grasshopper. Without him I would not be the photographer I am today or will be in the future.
“Jim is also an animated story teller which makes his workshops interesting and personal.
“Each year Jim accepts ten photographers who want to learn and improve their photography and artistic skills. I get to make ten new friends who share a passion for photography.”
She made my day!
