I recently had the pleasure of attending the Two Views Seminar with Yervant and Joe Buissink while in San Francisco, CA. Also representing was none other than Bambi Cantrell.

Joe and Yervant covered a lot of ground about marketing, presentation, shooting, Photoshop and passion. Passion was the underlying message of the whole day.

We did a live shoot with a model bride and groom and took the files back for processing. It was really, really cool to both see and hear the two completely different approaches from these very accomplished photographers in regards to just about everything.

Also in the house was Bay Area-based photographer and Brit ex-pat Peter Atherton. He demonstrated Yervant’s Page Gallery software for page layouts and displayed some of his work. Phenomenal.

This weekend I headed out with the very nice Mr. Justin Johnson as we grabbed some shots around his home in the Renton/Maple Valley Highway area and down by the tracks of SODO. I can’t wait to make his album along with one of my 24 x 36″ Art Mounts. Cool dude… Fun session.

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Bellies and Babies tour stop in the Seattle area at the Embassy Suites in Lynnwood, WA. Taught by master photographer Sandy “Sam” Puc’ of the hyper-successful Expressions Photos in Littleton, Colorado, it was an action-packed 6 hours of marketing, photographic, and philosophical advice that I can’t wait to apply.

And in a small world moment, the person sitting next to me was none other than Mimi Jung, correspondent and anchor for King 5 news. She is an amazing natural light photographer of children and has an incredible portfolio at her site. She’s even prettier in person than on television.
