I've been a professional photographer since 1989. Originally, I learned photography in the U.S. Air Force in the early 70s, but I didn't consider myself to be a professional, because at first I was just a
lab guy and didn't really learn extensive camera skills. As a matter of fact, I actually trained OUT of photography in 1974, but decided I really liked it and went back to it "on the side." But once I became a professional I learned very quickly that one of the things I needed to do was
keep learning! and always aspire to be better. So, I'd find someone who is BETTER than I am, and learn from them and increase my skills and motivations -- such as I did this past week at the annual PPSNYS Summer Workshop in Geneva, NY!
I spent an awesome week studying with one of England's best, Mr.
Brian Barrett. Not only was he an great artist, but also a great and compassionate human being (and jokester) and I learned at lot. Shown here, Brian instructs an intimate group of photographers on bridal and wedding photography techniques.
It was great fun, because not only did we learn from Brian, but 4 other instructors, plus about 85 other accomplished photographers from around New York and Canada, so the energy -- and synergy -- was awesome.
AWESOME! Stay tuned for good stuff! in weeks to come. Who knows? Maybe we'll get YOUR image on here... being the star you are.
Take care for now.
