I hate self-promotion. I really do, but I’m going to make a teeny-weeny exception today.
I’m teaching a workshop at my studio in Dover, OH on May 14th.
This is NOT a money-making venture on my part – it is sponsored by the PPA as part of their Super Monday series.
The title of the workshop is “Amateur Photographers Anonymous: A 12-Step Program to Going Pro.”
*Sigh*, yes, I heard of the 10-step “system” that was released last week. No, this is not a joke. In fact, I submitted this course on February 6th to the PPA, far in advance of all of this 10-step mumbo jumbo. Yet, I digress…
This workshop is specifically designed for the new photographer. It outlines the 12 steps *I* took to get where I am today. 4 years ago I was employed full time as a quality specialist, doing some freelance newspaper work on the side with the occasional wedding here and there.
Today… well – click HERE and check it out yourself. I think my resume speaks for itself.
I think I have a lot of guidance that will be valuable to the new and struggling photographer. I know how it is out there. You have many questions and no one will give you answers.
Well, let’s cut the bullshit and sit down and talk. I don’t even care if you are in my area. I’m a mentor and a teacher, not just a photographer. The knowledge I received is not something that I should protect and shield from others. Seriously. Give me a break.
It’s time. It’s time to stop making it tough on people that are trying to make the same journey. It’s time to stop being a jerk and take a few photographers under our wings and help them out.
And you know what the bonus is? I don’t have a thing to sell you! You’re not going to sit in class and get some kind of hard-sell from me. I’m just going to be open and honest about how I went about going into business and the lessons I learned the hard way. There’s no sense in you learning them the hard way, too.
I’m all about Karma, baby. Let’s rock and roll!
