Perm--No sweat.
Good stuff everyone, let's keep them coming.
On side note; by the way I appreciate everyone's input as I'm serious about the prospect of hosting photo seminars at venues around the state.
Thanks for the input guys. You'll enjoy this post I put up on the same thread on another forum when someone posted how disapointed the get with their own shots.

That's the kind of statement that makes me want to put on these kind of seminars. I could teach you guys how to use such techniques as subject matter placement in your foreground, middleground, and background along with selective depth of field to your advantage.
Also classic design principals such as compositional thirds is very important.
Take this shot for example.

Careful placement of your subject matter on the intersect nodes balanced along with what appears as dead space, however is not, becomes a well balanced and composed image.
This can be applied horizontally or vertically to any image.
Along with having a degree in photojournalism, I used to teach art photography at the college level.
I also have a previously undiscovered and unpublished design theory, principal applied to photography which is my proposed Master's Degree thesis.
These are just some of the things I would discuss at the beginners level class.
An advanced class would get more technical and perhaps artistically esoteric.
