WOW! It's been almost four weeks since I updated my BLOG last and it feels great
to get back into it.
Hi and thanks to all those who e-mailed me about such a long time off. No, I'm
not dead, nor did I marry a mobster's wife and move to Vegas...I've just been
busy shooting and processing, shooting and processing. SO, look all the way down
to February 1st to see all the new backdated BLOG postings.

February 28, 2010
Over the past couple of months I've gotten into airsofting, a tactical sport
similar to paintball...without the mess. My friends like to joke that I just
can't get away from shooting people in one way or another.
Thanks to this new interest I've gained quite a collection of airsoft guns which
make for great props whenever I'm shooting models. This is a collection of two
different shoots on an ongoing project:

Today I taught the second lighting workshop in this, my fourth series of lighting
workshops to 26 people. It was a great time helping and shooting with so many
other photographers!
Thanks everyone for coming!

Day eleven, the final day of my multiple day event photo shoot for Festival du
Voyageur!
After my final shoot for Festival today, here are some stats from 11 days of
shooting:
-8222 digital photos for 232.25 gigabytes taken
-24 large format film photos taken
-I met a TON of super nice people, many of which where photographers who I gave
WPC promo cards to so hopefully they'll be joining us soon!
-I also met a lot of drunk people (gotta love Caribou...the fortified wine kind)
and got hit on by many of them but despite being single...drunk girls just aren't
that interesting, they're hilarious but also very dangerous to photo gear!
-I got some HUGE compliments from the FDV council on some of my past and preliminary
photos from this year, always good to hear.
-On average I shot 7 separate events a day including bands, re-enactors, re-enactments,
the school program (where the Festival site is not available to the public for
two days), the governor's ball, the VIP night and a ton of other stuff like snow
sculptures and the fire pixies who I got some shots that I'm really happy with!
Thanks to everyone who posed patiently and where pictured!

Late night commercial photography for Bayview Construction LTD./Rocky Road Recycing
LTD.
Once a year (possibly twice) the City of WInnipeg does a massive cleanup of all
the built up snow on the sidewalks that cumulates when they do the snow clearing.
I was sent out to get shots of Bayview vehicles working on this massive project.
I was also VERY lucky to get my first ride in a front end loader and I gotta
tell you, those things are really comfortable but also really cramped!

Commercial staff portraits for mf1
February 10, 2010
Today saw the start of my third year in a row being the official photographer
for Festival du Voyageur.
I was in the festival park taking a huge group photo of all the people who work
with FDV as well as the main group of FDV staff. I also took several shots of
the snow sculptures as they where being
built.
It looks like another great year for FDV!

HUGE thanks to all those who attended my first "Going Pro" seminar!
Again, this was also the first of it's kind in Winnipeg and I feel EXTREMELY
happy to have had 17 registered attendees, 2 of which unfortunately couldn't
make it due to a death in the family and my heart and thoughts go out to them.
Thanks to Cory for the photo!
I gave out a questionnaire at the end of the seminar (which people where able
to fill out anonymously to get the most honest suggestions and feelings about
it) and almost everyone felt that the seminar would have been worth it even at
the full price. (Luckily they where all smart and got in on the early
bird pricing of 50% off!)
As this was the first time I ran this particular seminar, there where bound to
be issues, however the only hiccup I had was having the gear portion of the seminar
go long as there where several questions from the attendees, therefore making
it
go
long
and
dig into the time for the critique portion which people all unanimously decided
we
would skip in order to spend more time on the "how to get your name out
there & differentiate yourself from other photographers" section. BUT,
I have e-mailed all those in attendance and will be giving them a free, one on
one critique session in order to make it up to them.
I will be selling a DVD collection of the entire seminar for somewhere around
$750. Why so much? As most of the people in attendance mentioned that the seminar
would have been a good value at the full price, and as you can FF and RW the
DVD I feel that has added value. Also, if you could buy the DVD for less than
the seminar itself, why bother going at all? HOWEVER, there will be special WPC
pricing AND anyone who attended the seminar will be able to purchase the collection
for around only $300.
Here are some of the comments from attendees:
-"I think it was well worth it. I liked the smaller group size."
-"You where very articulate with your topics!"
-"I found it very informative and like the casual setting."
-"Thanks for taking the time and having the courage to do this seminar!"
Most people had the same thing to say when asked which sections where most helpful:
-"Enjoyed all aspects."
-"All of it was extremely useful."
However the specific parts of the seminar which most people felt where most interesting/helpful
where:
-Pricing
-Usage
-Promotion
-Marketing
Again, thanks to all the GP attendees for your faith and great questions!
