THE BLURB:
The Great White North Workshop (GWNW) is the Eastern Canadian News
Photographers Association's (ECNPA) answer to the constant demand,
from working professionals and students alike, to have a forum in
which to meet and exchange ideas as they strive for excellence in
their images.

The aim of the conference is to educate and inspire photojournalists
to strive for perfection in their profession by putting them in
contact with some of the best in the business. The annual event,
consisting of two days of workshops and speakers, continues to be a
discussion around many water coolers in newsrooms across the country.

- Rob Galbraith a.k.a. "Digital Guru" (Digital Workflow & Adobe
Photoshop seminars)

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a
little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor
safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too
much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
-Thomas Jefferson 1743-1826)
