I was in Tuscany a few years ago and bumped into Tom and Lee Frost at the cypress trees near San Quirico. He's a really nice guy and excellent photographer and I'm sure his courses would be worthwhile. They gave me a lift back to my Land Rover and swapped locations for photo opps. I met up with them again a few days later at one of the places I'd suggested and all three of us were there shooting 6x17, much to the amusement of the Dutch tourists that had gathered.
