3- Composition DVD
I am making good progress on the composition DVD.  I taught the contents of this upcoming tutorial during the Composition Mastery Seminars a week ago, and it was extremely well received by the Seminar Participants (thank you to all of you who attended the seminar).  I plan to release the DVD shortly.

At this time a pre-release announcement list is open. Joining this list is simple: simply email me by responding to this email with Composition DVD in the subject line and I will add your name to the pre-announcement list.

A special pre-announcement price will be offered to members of the pre-announcement list. There is no obligation to purchase once you are on that list. You will simply be first notified and you will have a chance to take advantage of the special offer.

4- New Print Review
A new free online print review is now available.  This month's review is about a photograph by Robert Cook.  You can see this review, in movie format, by clicking here now.  Don't forget to send your photographs for future review.  Information on doing so is available at the same link.

Until next month Natalie and I wish you all the best for your photography.  Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need something not addressed in this email.

With best regards,

Alain and Natalie Briot
