Ever since reading that, I have tried to keep up with my education in my career on a daily basis. Since I love learning, it's pretty easy to keep up on books, conventions and what not. However, it is difficult to find hands on experience that really inspires and teaches you to go beyond your usual limits.
Well if you are a photographer - you are in luck! Image Explorations out of Shawnigan Lake on Beautiful Vancouver Island offers education and inspiration in spades. Even if you aren't a fan of learning usually, the I.E. experience makes it easy! It's a great format and combination of lack of ego, great networking, exceptional educators and an inspiring location. Of course the behind the scenes work is beyond compare as well, or it simply wouldn't be the exceptional learning experience that it is.
Here's two of my favorite portraits taken at I.E. of a fellow classmate.
It just reminds me that "you can make it as simple or as easy as you like." A valid lesson that has had far reaching implications for my business as well as my personal life! Thanks Joe and Carol!
I took Joe Glyda & Carol Andrews' class this summer aptly called 'bring your own brain.' I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone in photography! It was truly inspiring and moving and has changed the way I do business.
It reminded me of the basics of life, lighting, and finding inspiration and passion in my work that makes work play! And it truly did challenge my brain!
It also reminded me of one of my favorite quotes on life, 'how you do anything is how you do everything.'
So thanks to Joe, Carol, the wonderful staff at Shawnigan Lake, Don, "C", Tomo, Lee, Gord, Eric and Eddie - and so many more. It was yet another phenomenal educational experience that will keep me going until next year! :)
