Hi everyone – I’ve been trying to update the links to our website. Our next food photography class is February 11th in Los Angeles. The web site is http://www.mdrphotographyclasses.com/. We had to move servers for the website because apparently we had too much traffic (we were actually told that by the web hosting company!) and its been a bit challenging to update all the links everywhere. Our February class is now half full!
