Feedback from Rick’s Maine Media Workshop
With regard to the class, it was fantastic. Your energetic style worked well for me. The camaraderie that developed was special – largely because of the tone you set. – Bob Levy
As for the class, it was great _ but you must hear that often. – James Woodward
I wanted to thank you for the great tips and the energy you brought to us. I had a great week. – Bob Mimiaga
Just wanted to drop a note and say thank you for a great week. I truly had a wonderful time working and photographing with you. – Heather Wilson
I certainly feel my photographic abilities grew a tremendous amount from your excellent and patient instruction during our week together at the Maine Media Workshops. We did indeed "kick ass" Friday evening according to our group consensus. Bob and I came away knowing we now do understand the difference between taking a picture and making a picture and plan to keep that momentum going. – Don Levy
Thanks for the evening of pizza [at your house] and painting with light. You have infectious enthusiasm. – Jen Eston (from Steve’s class)
I am excited about the interaction we had. I really enjoyed working with you. It was an eye opener in many ways. And personally very rewarding. I felt like a had met a like-minded spirit. - Tom Louis
I really appreciate you're remarkable effort. You helped me out more than you know. I look up to you so much as a professional photographer it was amazing to work with and learn from you. That simple conversation that we had made me realize that I can do anything – and if I work the system right and have the dream my dreams can be reached. And, thank you so much Rick Sammon. I hope to run in to you again soon in the future. Thank you for your time and knowledge and glowing personality. – Lauren Owens
The best thing I learned was how easy it was to have fun with HDR - from creating a near-painterly quality image to a more "photographic" depiction of the scene. – Nicholas Ragovis

P.S. There really is no DTC Style magazine. Susan was just havin’ some fun with a group photo.
The three days spent with you was very fun - and very interesting, productive, informative, and valuable. Thank you so very much for all your time, attention, and sharing. – Patsy Hall
The workshop was great. I learned a lot, but need "lots" more of them!! Really a fun, talented group, & a wonderful teacher!! – Helen Jo Pierce
It was absolutely, positively the most awesome workshop experience I've ever had the pleasure of attending!!! You are in my opinion the BEST photographic instructor of all.
– Susan Black
The workshop was fantastic and the people who attended are great folks.

Exploring the Light with Rick Sammon was so much more than just a workshop. I have new found enthusiasm, new techniques, new friends and a whole new way of looking at photography. HDR rocks. Thanks so much. – Julie Johnson
