IT was wonderful having Paula and Andre around whom I am familiar with and they were always to assist and help when they were around us also suggesting things.... Love the fact that you supply the full package to us, courses, newsletters, outings etc... Thanks for a wonderful service I will be back for more for sure!!!
Gail Zaaiman – Getpix PhotoWalkers Old Holfontein Mine
Paula you are a super star and you were the best model on the day. Ha Ha!!! You have the enthusiasm of a 20 year old and that's what I love about spending time with you. You make me forget my age and just have fun. Thank you for being such an inspiration. Getpix is great and just the place to be if you want to learn more. Every event that I have attended has been great. A point I would like to make is that because I work all day I really would like to join you on more outings if they are were on a weekend.

Would definitely attend another workshop, depending on the subject
Alice Gundry – Getpix PhotoWalkers Old Holfontein Mine
It was so nice to get out with you guys again – it has been too long!

J Thanks for offering freebie outings too – it is a blessing to still know I can get out there with you even when the income is low
Mike McLaughlin – Getpix PhotoWalkers Old Holfontein Mine
I had no idea what we would find at the venue, it was delightful and I am keen to take a buddy or two as well as some model friends out there for a shoot as well. The extremely cold and wet conditions did not assist my creativity much but that was outside of anyone’s control

Hi Ladies, thank you for voting for my photo,I have great fun in entering every 2 weeks. There are some seriously stunning photos each week by your students, obviously been taught well... or just very talented people
Lorraine - July 2011
I did what I was taught by Paula, I put my little instamatic camera on the correct settings, got down on my hands and knees and just waited for the moment to capture the perfect shot. My whole idea of doing the basic photography course was to enable me to operate my camera properly, using the correct settings and best lighting and to take lovely photo’s of my family and the new baby.
My niece was so impressed with a photograph I took that she has used it to enter her 15 month old baby into a competition. I am so thrilled

Shelley Birnie - May 2011 (14 Day Photographic Challenge)
I cannot tell you how much your Getpix challenge has rejuvenated me! J It's marvellous!! And having a defined goal for taking out the camera is wonderful. The quality of some of the entries is fantastic too, which makes me want to work harder at getting an image right, rather than just snapping any old thing! It's really perfect – no stifling rules, easy to do, upload and view, short enough to motivate but long enough to be creative and get something done! Thanks so much!
Micha Hannemann - May 2011
I was so happy to see the image from our wonderful excursion (where I really learnt a lot) doing well

Tracey Haw - July 2010
Firstly....what a great newsletter! Thank you!!! When I called and spoke to Paula a few weeks ago I was hoping to find a company where I would be able to learn more about photography and maybe get some support. I had done a basic course elsewhere but there was no ‘after sales support’ which was horrible as I wanted to do more!!!! Then I googled and found YOU!!! And I thank the Lord as I have stumbled on something wonderful I feel. I am currently doing the intermediate course with two of my friends and we are loving it! The fact that we pay to learn and get this support is Great just what I was looking for!
So again a big thanks and hopefully we will have a long relationship!!!! Have a great day....ps I hope one day I too will win a weekend like those ladies in your newsletter what fun that seemed to have been!!!

Paula, Thank you so very much for your critique of my photographs. I know that you are very busy and running around between all the students, but your input is truly valuable. It all of a sudden feel like I don’t know what I am doing with all the settings, but if okay with you, I will on a regular basis just forward a few for you to critique – just to keep me on track and to ensure that I am on my way to deliver great photographs

Koos Fourie - February 2010
Just a short note to thank Dave who took us on the Ndebele outing on Saturday. It was a very relaxing outing and Dave has given us a lot of guidance during the session. He has shown me how to use my camera’s light meter and when to use the manual setting on my lens and this has made a big difference in the taking of photographs there after. I have enjoyed it very much and will definitely book more of the outings scheduled for the year

Sandy Cater - November 2009
I am just so excited by what I have learnt with you I wanted to share the feeling. This has been a course that made me see things completely differently - much more in depth and meaningful - and I know this is going to help me in many different ways. But the reason behind the photograph course is that I intend publishing my own pictures in a book, and all this is because you have such a brilliant inspirational way or teaching. You deserve such thanks - I am not a technical person and find the technical side is what is bugging me - but will get over that, you explained to me in words of one syllable for which I am eternally grateful
Vivienne Murray - October 2009
Paula, Thanks for organising such a fabulous outing. I had such FUN. I'll let you have the pics at the end of the week when I get back.
