A Previous Boot Camp Class |
|
Boot Campers Enjoying the BBQ |
The Digital Photography Unleashed Boot Camp is the ultimate learning experience for improving your digital photography and your editing skills with the resulting images with Paint Shop Pro. You will learn all this information in three days of intense training at our training theater in Cave Creek, Arizona!
Classes sell out quickly. If you want a seat, register now!
All of this training for only $799! If your company sends two users, it is only $749 per camper. Send three and it is only $699 each. Four or more users pay only $649 per camper. Special: Register before July 1, 2005 and take an extra $100 off the prices listed above!
All of our computer training is done "hands off" presentation style so that you're not constantly waiting on someone else to correct their errors. We use state-of-the-art equipment and project onto a giant screen thereby allowing the students at the back of the room to see as well as those in the front. It's just as if you were looking over our shoulder. All this adds up to the fact that you will get more information in a shorter period of time so you can put it to use the minute you get back to the office. We've done over sixty boot camps so we have a very good grasp of the information users need and do our very best to get that information to boot campers.
The photography training is most definitely hands-on. You will be using your own camera; we'll teach you how to get the most from it!
All classes are taught by Foster D. Coburn III, Alan Lowy and Peter McCormick.
Foster has co-authored seven best-selling books on CorelDRAW and has taught thousands of users how to get the most out of their graphics at hundreds of seminars held throughout the world and through this Web site.
Alan began as a commercial photographer in 1967. His experience encompasses catalog, fashion, product, food, interior, and architectural photography. He became especially well-known for his model portfolios and fine-art figure-in-the-environment images. For 14 years, he taught adult education classes at Michigan’s Cranbrook Institute of Science. Alan continues as an active commercial photographer. He is a Certified Photographic Consultant (CPC) and is available for model portfolios and private lessons.
Peter has an extensive background in computer art as well as traditional fine art. He has taught image creation and editing using various software since 1992. He is a published author in books and magazines and has presented at numerous graphic art conferences.
For those of you traveling from out of town, we can help you with all of your travel arrangements. Cave Creek is a very western town in the northern suburbs of Phoenix. The local hotspots include the Buffalo Chip, Fandango, Le Sans Souci, El Encanto Mexican Restaurant, the Horny Toad, The Hideaway Grill, Wild Willy's Pub & Grub, Tonto Bar & Grill, Cartwright's Sonoran Ranch House, Harold's Cave Creek Corral and the Satisfied Frog. It is also home of the world famous Black Mountain Brewery which produces the infamous Chili Beer! Golfers will find Rancho Mañana a Tiger Wood's drive away from our office. We want you to not only learn, we want you to enjoy your visit!
Some of you may think the class is a long distance from your home. We've already had Boot Campers from 49 states (plus DC), 5 Canadian provinces, Austria, Bermuda, France, Iceland, India, Russia, South Africa and the UK. If you're curious, we're missing Rhode Island. There just isn't any other training like the Boot Camp and people travel from all over the world to learn from Unleashed!
Our pick for the best place to stay during the Boot Camp is the Spur Cross Bed & Breakfast. It is about 1.5 miles away and features fantastic rooms at a special rate negotiated just for our Boot Campers. The closest is the Cave Creek Tumbleweed Hotel, about a mile away from our office. It is a small, but nice, motel very near our training facility. We provide details on these two places and a complete list of hotels, airline and transportation information so that you can start planning now.
Please let us know what you would like to learn and we will do our best to include what you want!
