After spending 4 days talking shop with one of the greats and shooting some models with fellow photographers in the rainy, wet conditions of the willamette valley this is what I thought were some of my best. There are still about 20 or so more that I want to work on but as we are still fairly busy with client jobs it will have to wait! Kyle sent me to this workshop as a suprise, I was so delighted although nervous of leaving Grace and Kyle for that long all by lonesome. Turns out everything was fine on the home front and I made some great new friends.
I went thinking that I would learn so much technical know how and come out with a great new business plan etc.. What I didn’t expect was that I would come out learning more about myself as a photographer and how I shoot and prefer to shoot. Kyle and I met in photography and have been sharing this passion together since our relationship began, so naturally, with out him shooting beside me it felt strange. I felt a part of myself was missing. I realized that Kyle and I since our first attraction and interaction behind the camera and developing, we share something spiritual, something I can’t explain. Only that as an artist with out him I am good and can manage, but as an artist beside him we are outstanding and it’s that spiritual connection that helps drive us and inspire us. So, I guess it was a very valuable workshop in the sense that I now know how much Kyle means to me not only as my husband and father of our family but as a partner in art and spirit. Thanks babe! Love, Love…..
