Last night, when I was teaching with Jess and Mike, we noticed pretty quickly that the audience was from all over the map in terms of experience. None of that is a problem. In fact, it was awesome to see so many people into wanting to grow in their ability to tell story through photo.

Of course, Mike and Jess were their usual fantastic selves but I was really self-conscious of wanting to make the content relevant to everyone, regardless of their background.

What was great, especially for those newer to photography, was that I was able to find language learned from my friend Me Ra on how to make normally complex ideas remarkably accessible.

I find myself wanting more of that kind of thing but all her sweet workshops are only for the ladies … and Brian … what’s up with that? LOL! Despite my bitterness, I wanted to give an un-sponsored plug of her workshops. She’s a remarkable photographer, writer, teacher and friend.
Just a heads up though … I think the one in San Diego is already sold out and I think there’s just a couple spots left in Sonoma.
Here’s what ladies having fun apparently looks like …



If you do make it into Sonoma and you sign up with a friend, I’m pretty sure you can get 25% off for both of you while there’s space. Check it out!
Keep it communal.
