I am so stoked on this week.

Not only does Pictage’s PartnerCon 2008 in LA start on Tuesday, on Monday a bunch of my favorite photographers and I are doing a bonus pre-conference…

The Total Truth tour is Monday afternoon and I think there are a few spots left, so if you’re local and especially if you’re coming to PartnerCon – or, even if you’re not coming to PartnerCon – you gotta come to this thing!

Here’s are a couple clips with some of the Total Truth and PartnerCon speakers doing a video shoot for Shoot Dot Edit last Spring. If nothing else, watch the last 30 seconds of the last clip (Episode 3) when Me Ra totally throws me under the bus… good times!

PartnerCon is going to be a blast! I can’t wait to speak again this year. My talk is brand new. If you’re planning on coming, it’s Wednesday @ 10am. I’d be honored!

Here’s a synopsis of what I’m up to… I really hope it helps (despite what Me Ra says)…

I can’t wait to see everyone!

PS… I’m also doing a book signing for SDE on Tuesday @ 5pm, so please come by and say hi!

Coming to PartnerCon?

Join us for the Truth or Dare pre-party. We’re keeping it super cheap just to cover expenses ($39) so everyone can join in the fun. I can’t believe the teachers that are participating. It’s going to be a blast!

Can’t wait to see you guys!

Fun surprise… Pictage decided to put me up on their blog today as part of their pre-PartnerCon promotion to help folks get a sense of what they can expect at the conference in LA.

I think helping people set expectations is a smart idea.

This speaker spotlight is good timing too because I’m doing another Ask and Learn session tomorrow on Pictage’s Forum and I always wonder who will show up and what we get to chat about. What do you think? I can’t wait!

Wanna swing by and say hi? It starts at 4pm PST. It would be great if you did!

Check out the Pictage blog here!

PS… Big shout out to everyone who’ve been writing in to me about the book or have posted at places like OSP. I’ve been blown away by the feedback and am so grateful.

PPS… I’m especially grateful for my man Kenny Kim for telling the world about his experience with Fast Track Photographer. Check it out here!

I’m speaking again at PartnerCon LA in September and I have a fun idea I wanted to let you in on…

Probably my favorite thing about PartnerCon is the personal connections that happen beyond the online world and this year I wanted to be intentional to make sure that I maximize that happening.

So, if you’re thinking of coming and you attend my seminar, I’d love it if we could hang out after for lunch and extend the conversation in a little more intimate setting. What do you think of that idea?

We’ll probably just hang at the conference itself, but depending on how many want to join in, it might help to know in advance in case we’re limited on space. Just let me know (comment below or email) if you wanna join in so we can have some rough numbers. I can’t wait!

Keep it LA.

PS… If you pre-ordered my book, the free-shipping offer will end when the first run of books ship which is scheduled for 8-8-08. I’m so excited for them to deliver to you guys! Thanks for your patience!!
