Rediscover Your Love of Shooting Workshop ::: Part I

This past Monday, I had the amazing opportunity to attend an all-day workshop given by the fabulous Carla Ten Eyck and Steve DePino.

I can honestly say it was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I met a huge group of really kind, fun, awe-inspiring photographers... and I left with hoardes of new info and confidence that I didn't have 12 hours earlier.

Everyone there seemed to be infinitely more "professional" and talented than I, but that didn't matter. Every single photographer had the patience of a saint, dealing with the girl who really doesn't know how to shoot people and just laughed her fool head off the entire time. =)

Carla and Steve... well, they wouldn't let me sit back and watch. ALL I wanted to do was just be a fly on the wall and absorb everything around me, but the whip was cracked and I was forced out of my comfort zone. Nerve wracking to say the least, but much much needed. I'll never step out on a limb without a shove. =) I cannot thank them enough!! Nothing like being thrown into the fire.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a spare moment until now to sit down and go thru my 1,000 shots!!! Special thanks to our fabulous models Cara (below), country music artist Nicole Frechette and Justin & Mary Marantz, photographers-turned-models for the day. =) (Pics of Nicole, Justin, and Mary to come!)

Without further ado...
