I have been Invited to attend a Phoot Camp in San Francisco By Laura Miner and Cody Austin. I don’t have many details yet but I think it should be quite interesting. After the Camp I have deiced to stick around San Francisco for a week so that I can hold a book signing and maybe a talk. The most exciting thing is that I will be bringing my photography course to the US for the 1st time. The last course in Brighton attracted silverfox69 from liverpool who had to travel 269 miles but he was topped by topfloor who came all the way from Kassel in Germany just a mere 500 miles. So I am hoping that if I come all the way from the UK a few of you will want to come and sample my photographic knowledge!
The key dates for there trip are:
[UPDATE] Monday 12th of October 7:30pm Book signing / talk at the Booksmith more details here.
Thursday 15th and Friday 16th of October teaching Hot Shots Course.
Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th of October teaching Hot Shots Course.
Both Courses are the same it’s just that I like to keep the class sizes at 8 and seeing as there are a few people who live in San Francisco I would like to make sure that there is enough room for people who want to do the course.
To find out more about the course check my Hot Shots course page. To be updated on my plans for San Francisco Keep and eye on this blog (you can subscribe to the RSS feed here) and follow me on twitter.

UPDATE: I have now posted the full lengh review on this blog read it here.
My review of the Olympus pen E-P1 is in the September issue of Digital SLR User. They wanted a fresh perspective on it, I am not really known for my work with digital cameras so they asked me for my opinion. It’s on the shelves in the UK now so go and check it out. On the subject of writing, my book is now back in print after the UK print run sold out in 5 months. You will soon be able to get signed copies from me again, just email me on info@lomokev.com if you are interested, they are £12.99 + shipping (£2.50 UK, £4 EUROPE, £7.96 for the rest of the world including the USA).
