In some weird and wonderful way the Internet has put me in touch with some super cool people. I’m a big believer in twitter, Facebook and obviously blogging! The reason, well it’s simple… It just works! As a matter of fact, the Internet makes the world a really small place. It brings you in contact with so many people and specifically people with similar interests. Last night I had the privilege to meet some of the faces behind Facebook ;)
Just to let you know, I’ve organized a photographer’s get together in London for this coming monday (9 August 2010). It’s open to anyone. Pro & amateurs! Anyone welcome…just to meet, great & eat :)
Details:
6:30 at Amano’s Cafe, Victor Wharf, Clink Street, London…
For more details and to RSVP please read more on our Facebook event.
Since the launch of my first 2 workshops, I’ve been receiving many emails from Photographers from all over South Africa. I know that you guys are waiting for the Cape Town and Johannesburg Workshops, as well as Durban and Nelspruit.
I’m very very excited to announce that I’ll be in New York & London next month…so I’m putting together something called: FUNshops. I decided to re-”brand” my workshops, cause essentially they are not normal workshops. They are totally informal, totally fun and a place where, as Jasmine Star says: You have to leave your ego at home! So the new word on the block is FUNshops!
When I was very young I stuttered. My mom told me the story, I think I was about 2/3 years old so it’s one of those I can’t remember, but apparently it’s true :) My mom took me to a specialist to find out why I was stuttering and to look for a cure. The specialist did some tests and then explained that the reason for the stuttering was that my mind was going faster than my mouth could keep up with.
This is just a little note to tell you, you’re on my mind!
I’ve been wanting to type this post for such a long time, but every time I start typing I think: just let go. It’s not worth it! But today a close friend phoned me and after chatting to him I decided I can’t just let go, I need to tell you and warn you. I love blogging about beautiful and uplifting things. I love talking about success, love and awesomeness, but unfortunately this post is not about any of those things. This post is about the opposite.
Like most other people I looooove traveling! I love meeting people, tasting new things (except dodgy things :) and hanging out in places that make me want to take 1 million photos. And this year seems to be the year where all my travels begin. I was very privileged to visit WPPI in the USA in March and hope to return in August to host some workshops. But more about that when things are finalized…for now these are my travel dates and plans, so if you’re interested in a workshop, private lesson or even a wedding or engagement shoot let me know.
As you probably read in my previous post, I had the privilege to host my second workshop a few weeks ago. The most exciting part for most of the girls was doing the shoot. The theme for this shoot was a vintage, country style shoot. Everything came together so beautifully, but there would have been no way I could have pulled it off if it wasn’t for all the amazing service providers that helped me out!
On the 25th of March I hosted my second workshop. It was a fun two days with lots of photo-talk! The idea in general with my workshops are informal (but pretty) get togethers where I share and create a friendly environment to ask questions and learn. When I hosted my first workshop I decided to keep the groups small. By doing this I can spend time with every person and answer individual questions.
