It has been a dream of mine to attend the Maine Photographic Workshops (http://www.theworkshops.com), for as long as I can remember, but as you probably know they are pretty expensive, costing about $850 for tutuion alone.
They do offer scholarships though.
This past couple of years, they have had a scholarship for "Military Veterans" for Iraqi and Enduring Freedom.
Well guess what?
I have been awarded this scholarship!!

Congratulations, Brian. Tell us more about what you'll do at the workshop. Will it be focused on just the Holga or will you be taking more than one course? And most important - will you be taking a bike to Maine :)

LOL John! No bike, this is all about the camera.
The scholarship is for one workshop, I have selected a workshop they call, In Search of the Personal (http://www.theworkshops.com/catalog/courses/index.asp?CourseID=2330&SchoolID=20). It is not specific to a Holga or anything like that, I think this one will suit me best.
It won't be until July-August. Look for a complete write up after that.
Thanks eveyone!

Very good news.

As a note $850 for tutuion is not that costly. Where I work the tutuion is $150 a credit hour! And that is on the cheap side nowdays!:eek:
