I am writing this post from my hotel room in Orange County. I am here for Jasmine Star’s fabulous workshop aptly named; The Workshop. The OC has been treating me oh so well! I flew in Monday and Monday evening I was already hanging out with a dozen photographers from all over the country. We were all here for The Workshop, so decided to get things started early and shoot a bit around Balboa Pier and then we grabbed some food at BJ’s. Last night, there was an OC vs. LA bowling showdown and my new friend Wayne Toshikazu invited me to join in and represent the OC. I have to say, I represented well, getting the high score for the OC helping slaughter LA….HOLLA! I also made new friends there and had lots of good conversation…I’m lovin’ it.
The Workshop was held Tuesday and was everything I was hoping for and more. Jasmine and JD did an amazing job of organizing everything and just creating an awesome atmosphere making the expereience that much better. Everything was so simple…I loved it! I’ve met Jasmine a few times before and I (like 10,000 other people) check her blog daily to read what inspiring or funny words she has to say and if you’re reading this Jasmine, yes, I DO think you are funny 🙂 It was refreshing to be able to hangout and share with 20 other photographers lead by someone I find to just be, well fabulous. I got so much out of The Workshop and recommend it to anyone looking to get inspired or step up their skills. A big thank you to Jasmine for making this happen and making me love my job and our industry that much more!
