National Geographic Workshop

Image has nothing to do with the post -I just think posts with a photo are so much cooler

Last weekend I attended a National Geographic Workshop/Seminar.  Bob Krist and Lee Hopkins were suppose to be the speakers but they were no where to be found, Eddie Soloway and Michael Melford were the two speakers instead. I was very disappointed at first and actually pretty angry but thankfully Eddie and Michael did a great job and the seminar was a hit.  But I’m still wondering what happened, did I read the names wrong? did I register for the wrong one? hmmmm…

The seminar was titled “Putting the WOW in your nature and outdoor photography” and I was expecting the seminar to be about travel photography.  I’ve never really been into nature photography but I was able to walk away with a lot of great insight and new visions. I really do believe that inspiration should come from every angle but I’ve never even though about nature photography.  At the end I’m glad I was a part of this seminar and have a new interest in nature photography now.

After the seminar I decided to set up my own projects, this way it will get me to take photos and have something to look forward to.  I will set up monthly topics and try to get 20 to 25 photos from each topic per month.  Since May has just began, May will be about ::patterns::

Lets get to work!
