- Do I have to have a camera to join the workshop?

- Are there restrooms at the workshop locations?
- There will be restrooms at several of the workshop locations.
- Can I buy food or beverages?
- While there is a cafe near the workshop location, it is recommended that you eat before or after the workshop as this is a classroom type setting.
- Is the price still the same if I don't have a camera?
- Yes, every participant in the workshop must have a ticket. The workshop is best for those with cameras and if you don't have a camera but plan to accompany someone who does, you may wish to check out one of our walking tours as they function as tours with a photography component.

- Can I bring a pet with me to the workshop?
