I have been looking around at a number of Photo Workshops and have come up with a "bright idea" ...(sorry...its quiet in the office again

).
My main problem with coughing up some cash to join a workshop is that I am suspicious about a): the knowledge of the person teaching me & b): am I going to get anything of real value out of it if a) isnt up to it.
So.....Is anyone here prepared to run/host a workshop...in say Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Zion, Yellowstone, Sierras....etc etc
And dont get me wrong, I'm not looking for any thing cheap or any favours, I genuinley want to learn more and am prepared to pay and therefore the thought of why pay an unknown when I could pay someone from here who I/we "know", trust, respect and admire their work. Several people come to mind but I wont embarass them by naming them....hopefully they will respond to this.
Really appreciate some feedback on this.
Cheers
Grant
