One of my goals is to definitely invest into my own personal growth as a photographer. One of the best ways to do this is to attend seminars and workshops thrown by super talented photographers. It’s just a great way to get inspired, learn a ton in short period of time and collaborate with peers. The ANTI-workshop was so great for me last year, so, I’m trying to figure out what to attend for 2008. I’m kinda bummed that I cannot attend DWF ‘08…schedule is not cooperating. I’ll be at WPPI in March, so I think I’ll get a little bit of knowledge over there.

I just signed up for a one-day lighting workshop in Los Angeles (Light & Fast) that is being held by John Mireles and Jules Bianchi. That should be really interesting. But I’m also looking for another one to attend, probably a multi-day event. Any one out there have any suggestions for me??? Or have any reviews of ones they recently attended or have already registered for one in ‘08??

Here are some that I’ve heard of for ‘08:

• PERSPECTIVE Workshop - Red Leaf Studios
• The Foundation Workshop
• Bebb Seminars
• Roots Workshop

I’d like to plug an upcoming workshop that has helped me evolve into the photographer I am today. This coming March, the ANTI-Workshop is making a return…this time in Las Vegas. There are so many positives, that I can write about attending this workshop and you can read most of it here. But if you want to take your skills to a higher level and push the envelope a little more, just do it. It’s worth every penny. You’ll also meet great people interested in doing the same thing and learn a ton of stuff all together…it’s just an awesome environment! I hear there a few spots left…check it out: ANTI-Workshop

We had the pleasure of working with Rachelle Brown of Events* back in August in San Diego and she was just awesome. We hit it off right away and it was nice to get together again for a couple head shots. It’s funny…this shot is one of a bunch of my faves and it was right next to the dumpster! Rachelle, thanks for trusting me on that hahah ;) and thanks for everything! So all you San Diego peeps, check them out.

We are taking a short little family vacation to New York, NY, the big city of dreams. We’ll be taking in the sights and visiting my aunt, Didi, who lives in Manhattan. So, we’ll be gone until Sunday night. Go ahead and send those emails…I’ll be responding every so often. Hopefully, I’ll get to post some daily pics on the blog.

Just wanted to add some fun info here on the blog and decided to do some personal Q&A. Yeah, I know, other people do the same thing, but it’s still fun and I think these questions, although obscure and seemingly insignificant, can reveal a lot about you. So go check out the new “Who Are We” page on the blog.
