A Few Small Workshops Planned:
Got a couple new workshop dates for anybody who wants to get together and work on natural light portraits, or workflow. Very simple, core concepts will be covered. Just 5 people, and everyone is welcome to re-attend future workshops of the same kind. (If you’ve already attended one of the previous “Workflowshops” or natural light portrait workshops, and are available on one of the upcoming dates, email me! Re-attendance is also limited to 5 people…
I really believe that the most progress in any endeavor does not come during the course of a 3-hour lecture or photo shoot, but from continued correspondence and mutual learning with friends. That’s how I went from taking terrible photos to making half-decent images, at least.
The natural light portrait workshop is April 11th, and the next “Workflowshop” is April 25th.

Side note: Considering the recent flurry of “industry” trash-talking, bashing, and hate mail, I hesitate to shout from the mountain tops “I’m hosting a workshop! Come learn from me!” So you won’t hear very much about these things on my main blog or Twitter, just here on CameraTalk where this stuff belongs. And I certainly have no intention of ever hosting an all-inclusive, high-dollar workshop that covers everything from cameras to branding. Make no mistake, I HAVE attended workshops of that kind, and they are amazingly beneficial; I’m just not that kind of guy. I only *enjoy* chatting about cameras, light, and workflow. Not much else. I do what I gotta do to run a photography business, and if you wanna chat about that you’re welcome to bribe me with lunch at Claim Jumper, or set up a private coaching session, but in general I’m trying to keep things low-key. I’d rather have friends than fans…
Take care,

ryc: the photo of rachel on wordpress didn’t have flash. i forgot to turn my flash unit on and didn’t notice in the first few photos until i took a shot where i half stared/looked at my flash instead of through the viewfinder.
