Also, it was wonderful seeing so many warm-hearted individuals meet up with me and Dane Sanders and Mike Colon (two very kind, gifted & inspiring people :) in freezing, aptly-named Big Sky, Montana at the beginning of February! It proved to be a fast-paced and thorough experience and … did I mention freezing?

Not just freezing but below freezing: -34 degrees at one point, to be exact. I’ve never before felt parts of my body just freeze in mere seconds quite like that – as if they were just readying themselves to fall off of my personage. I can’t say that feeling isn’t a teensy bit nerve-wracking.
(In the end, though, I left with all pieces seemingly still intact.)

Grateful to Tracy Moore Thompson & her Mountain/Montana Man husband Matt for orchestrating the event and rustling up breakfast every morning – even for a vegetarian in Beef Country ;)

And I know it’s hard to go wrong when it comes to kids, but we had some truly adorable childeren come join us for my shooting clinics:

This just needs to land on the cover of something somewhere …. don’t you love her innate style?

One of the talented workshop participants, Cali Sparing, grabbed a few fun behind-the-scenes shots … this is the set up for …

… this shot :)

This little one was born & bred Montana…

Hard not to be drawn into the shy pout, but it was worth waiting for/working for her smile.

Showcasing creative, contrasty lighting with a flash and reflector combo…

Fun to see the whole wrap around – shooting like this …

and her expression was that one on the left!

I should also note here that I totally want her outfit.

And a big fan of so much of this …

Thanks to all who came out and braved the fierce temps!!

WPPI convention

Having had the privilege of speaking at WPPI (the largest annual expo & conference in the United States for professional photographers) for the last couple of years, I am thrilled to be presenting a brand new Platform Presentation at WPPI in Las Vegas this year, as well – on Tuesday, February 22nd at 8am.

A big thank you to White House Custom Color, Adorama Camera, Kubota Image Tools and AsukaBook for sponsoring my talk :)

My topic is “The Fusion of Work and Life: Structure a More Efficient Business (and Life :)”, a topic near and dear to my heart and one I’ve been studying for some time, living out all kinds of experiments and theories and happily discovering much that really does work (gasp!), genuinely streamlining the pressures of managing the all of it.

I am also so glad that WPPI implemented a pre-board system this year, allowing attendees to select their preferred speakers ahead of time. This is a great improvement over the long lines and shut doors of years past … this is the line we passed setting up for my presentation last year, also at 8am, and it was not an unusual line up of individuals for other speakers, either.
Also! My friend George Veranakis, the EVP of WPPI, has generously offered me a full convention registration pass to give away to one lucky winner, valued at up to $399. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment here with one of your favorite tips, tricks, ideas or things-you’ve-heard-but-haven’t-tried-yet theories that help you to balance/find flow in your life, your loves, your interests, your work, your family, your friends, all of it!

We’ll be selecting a winner this Thursday, which should give you plenty of time to pack up, snag a flight, and get yourself to Vegas! If you win and have already registered, you are welcome to offer the winning pass to a friend. They can then pay you back however they choose – it is at the MGM, after all, so there should be plenty of options ;)

Good luck!
Update: A big congratulations to Shilo Bradley for winning the full pass to WPPI 2010!
