"The Desert Light Group has been instrumental in providing me with a group of peers that share my love of photography. The gatherings are always fun and informative due to the various personalities of the attendees and the diversity of topics discussed. I have gained friends, sources, referrals and knowledge at each and every meeting. I applaud Alans leadership in doing away with meeting formalities and agendas (the usual "meeting" bureaucracy) and keeping things social, fun and lively. I have never liked having my work critiqued by strangers, as is the norm on many photo websites. However, due to the respect I have for each participant at Desert Light, I welcome and embrace each and every comment. Thanks for allowing me to participate!"

              - Richard Rubenstein, Photographer
