What an awesome AWESOME day today with Alex, Luis, Tony, Cari and Mark in Miami. The workshops have been going better than I could have ever anticipated, and although each has been spectacular, I think they are getting a little better each time. Something I learned today is that each group is going to have different skill levels and interests and I have to pay close attention to each group and focus on what will help them most. In terms of pure photography, I saw an incredible amount of improvement in just a few hours of instruction, and I have to saw this was incredibly rewarding to me as an instructor. Its awesome to teach a few principles and watch as students apply them, see a change and realize they have just gotten better. I am also learning to be more and more hands off after I teach a principle, teach them how to do it, and then let them try seems to be giving the best results. I hope to have a slideshow up soon. I had a great time with you guys today- keep practicing what we talked about and please let me know how you are doing. An especially big thank you to Alex who proposed the idea initially- so glad you did!
5 days of workshopping in just over a week, all other days I have either been driving or working on the 580 DVD (which we have a functional rough draft of now….just ironing it out). Im tired, but am adjusting better. Still working out 3 times a week, which has helped.
I dunno….maybe its time for Orlando tomorrow….maybe Disney World?
Mike, you would enjoy Universal Islands of Adventure more than Disney. :0)
It was "AMAZING" best time ever. Can’t wait to do it again. It is hard to express how great of a time we had. You have to experience it!
THANK YOU! Michael, you were great, you have made new friends in Miami, like we said, next time you are here, call and you have a place to stay.
That picture came out AWESOME!!!
Mike,before u leave Miami, call lana and Richard , he works for ritz carlton in Miami. I’ll have LAna call you too.
WOW, what an incredible time!!! If you are’t sure if this course is for you, sign up anyway. You will definitely not regret it. I mean there’s something for everyone, from novice to pro, if you’re considering starting a business or just want to take better pictures of your kids you will be surprised how much better your pictures will be over the span of a few (where did the time go) hours. Michael, THANK YOU so much for the best learning experience ever and have a safe trip (say hi to Mickey for me)!!!
Thank you Michael, we enjoyed and learned a lot yesterday, it was the "Best of the Best" thank you for the "incredible time" as Mark said
MA- Obviously I will have covered and recovered the 50D course and the photoshop course prior to coming… How can we best come prepaired so we can all get past the basics and really benefit from your advance techniques?
Thanks everyone! Kelly- if you have done this, sounds like you already have prepared! I would recommend making a list of questions and writing them down.
Jealous!!! LOVE pretty much anything Disney. Have a blast…glad to see the workshops are going so well…I have a co-worker who is seriously considering coming to the Nashville workshop unless of course you do another one in Alabama…
The Nashville will be the biggest and probably the best- I am learning more and more and getting better at each one (just a little every time). The film crew will be at Nashville, and I dont have any plans at the moment to do an all country serious of workshops again, its exhausting!
