During the class after the 3rd week is posted...I usually host a screen share session.  In this session I allow you to see my computer screen and I host a Skype call so that everyone can talk to each other. 

Here is how it works...I will log into a web site that allows me to push my screen out to you.  You will have to down load a small "browser widget" that allows you to join up to my shared session and watch in sort of real time what I am doing while I talk and answer questions.

You will need to download and install skype on your PC.  You can remove it after we are done if you like but Skype has been a very stable system for this so far.  When you install skype you will have to create a user name and that is the information I need.  I will add you to the conference call on the day we have it and you will be able to talk to me and everyone else no matter where in the world they live.

Additionally, I request that you send me a few images that you want to see worked on.  I wait for the 4th week so you have enough information and you will know more about what you need to ask questions about. 

The last part is the actual date of the call.  Typically we do this on a Saturday.  So we are talking October 9th, 16th, or 23rd. 
I need your location city, and dates you would be willing to attend.  Usually this session lasts for an hour but we can go long if everyone wants to and I am available.  I know we have some students on the other side of the world so this might be scheduling puzzle.  England and Australia I think...

Please let me know what dates work for you and I'll see what times work out depending on who wants to attend.  It is possible that we might have two sessions based on the time frames...

Hi Greg
9th and 23rd are good for me. I work on the 16th and would be home at 4pm my time but I think thats the middle of your night.

Time zone is the same as Sydney, Australia. I am willing to be very flexible about this. I know I complicate things

I can do the 9th or 23rd.  I'm on Mountain time, US, Albuquerque, NM.  I will do whatever works, but I don't function too well before about 10:00am my time.

Ah, but you have realized how I like to ask questions!  I can't even do that well if I've stayed up half the night working on CM!! :-)

Start writing them down the week before and start hunting for images that we can work on.
