Triangle Institute
Tammy's View... Why I love TIPP
1. First of all, TIPP is the place to come and learn photography. Whether you are a beginner learning the basics, or a seasoned veteran who wants to hone your skills and be on the cutting edge of technology, Triangle Institute offers something for everyone. I have learned so much in the years I have spent at TIPP, and each year I go away pumped and excited about applying all the new ideas and knowledge to my business. It is a priceless opportunity to spend a week with some of the best photographers in the country, and not only learn from them, but get to know them on a personal level.
2. Secondly, TIPP is a place to have FUN. After a day full of absorbing information like a sponge, taking notes until your hand is ready to fall off, or staring at a computer screen until your eyes cross, it’s so relaxing to hang out with others and have a good time. We laugh until our sides ache, and then we laugh some more. I have to say, I look forward to the fun times at TIPP as much as I look forward to the classes. Which brings me to the third reason I love TIPP….
TIPP is a place to forge lasting friendships with other photographers. From the very first day I attended Triangle as a total stranger not knowing anyone, I was welcomed into this group by warm and caring people. It did not matter that I was a beginner and didn’t know much at all about photography. People were willing to help me, teach me, and befriend me, and those are friendships that I cherish dearly.
So let me welcome you to our family. We hope you will come and learn, have fun, and make friends with us! I promise you will never regret it.

"I had a fantastic time at
And the class times were perfect. There were early bird classes
for those that wanted them, but the main classes didn't start
until 9:15, which is great for non-morning people like me.
Everyone was REALLY, REALLY nice and friendly. There were no
evident "cliques" that you sometimes run into at schools you
have never attended.
My Painter class with Jeremy Sutton was AWESOME, and I will
sincerely consider taking it again next year should he decide to
teach there again. This is the only PPA type school he does and
you are getting a real bargain for only $650 with all meals
included. and the hotel room was only $59 per night. On the way
home, I almost completed what I think is a really great painting
of my Border Collie/Lab. I will post it as soon as I put the
finishing touches on it - which will have to wait until I am a
little more caught up from being gone.
As an added bonus, I even got to see SNOW - LOTS of it! In fact
my plane almost didn't make it off the ground. It was one of the
last to leave the airport before it was shut down.
One of the best things about this school is the time of year.
Right before the busy season kicks in. Yeah, I'll probably be
going again next year!
I just wanted to write and say what a great experience being a member of TPA has been for me. I am an aspiring wedding photographer and the combination of your TIPP class and contacts I made through the mentoring program have been absolutely priceless.
The photographer members of Triangle have consistently gone out of their way to help me and help me grow as a photographer. I have met and worked with many fine Triangle photographers as mentors and friends. I could not be more grateful to them and to TPA.
It's remarkable that Triangle can provide such exceptional resources as the mentoring program and the Institute classes. They have made all the difference for me.
So I guess I just want to say thanks very much, and see you at the May meeting!
