Riding back home the first thing I do is I take I take my drives and immediately download the one of the drives into a raid system or whatever system you have to make sure that there's another another copy uh that way that everything secure and I'm pretty sure everything's okay? And then when you arrived back home after you take care of it once again, take stock of yourself because whatever story you're doing it's goingto have an emotional toll can be positive, it can be negative, but whatever it is, you need to kind of understand where you are. How do you feel if you're doing things that might be coming back from an earthquake or you're photographing funeral or something of that there's something has sort of a negative emotional toll understand like are you suffering from ptsd?

Where do I go from here?

Thank you Ron and Creative Live for the thoughtful and expansive course. Even for a pro, the information was often enlightening and definitely inspirational. The best way to learn is from a seasoned professional who knows how to teach in an organized manner. Appreciate the support materials as well. Will be out shooting stories no doubt! All the best, Karen Ollis, Karen Ollis Photo

Ron Haviv presents his generous insights and experience in a wonderfully paced and very clearly delivered manner. Combine him with the Creative Live platform and you have a magical educational experience. I'm so grateful to attend this course. I wish I had heard a presentation like this years back; it would have spared me some mistakes. If you're sitting on the fence buy this course. Tap into his wisdom. Enjoy.

I think the course is good. However, for me, it really wasn't. I work as a photojournalist. What I was interested in was the resource guide. I thought with his experience this would have been more extensive. There is a lot missing from the list. It's a tough industry and gets tougher every day. You have to have a real passion for this field and Mr. Haviv really illustrates that. Anyway, I did enjoy the presentation from this very experienced photographer. I always love hearing about the experiences of others in the field. He really is one of the very best and the lecture was very enjoyable.
