Last week I made my 3rd trip to Canada-Land in the last 9 months. Back in April, I went to Ontario to present my Crash Course in Kicking @$$, then in November, I froze my butt off in Calgary. I finally made it to the west coast for some milder weather and gave back to back 1 day workshops in Vancouver.
As per usual, I had a great time and the Canadiens were super friendly and receptive. I love teaching this "Crash Course" because instead of just telling people how to do it, or sharing how I run my business, I try to get people focusing on "the big picture" and I do my best to motivate and inspire. The response has been overwhelmingly positive and I am so proud of what some past workshop attendees are doing.
The one thing I will say about this Vancouver crew, is a lot of them already are on board with the concept of networking with other photographers. When I travel to other parts of the world, not everyone "gets it", but these folks sure do.
I want to thank Geoff & Naomi from Weddings in Motion for modeling on Day 1:
And I want to thank Jason & Lena from Jaylena Photography for modeling on day 2:
Here's the Wednesday crew:
And the Thrusday crew made for a lovely backdrop:

Attendee Cedric Yu made a little gorilla style video of the workshop and I love it. Thanks bud!
Here are a few shots that people got of me in action. Click the photo to see more from each photographer:
This workshop would not have been possible without all of the hard work from Tracey Heppner from VanPhotogs, who organized and planned the entire thing. I also want to thank Reilly & Miranda from Blue Olive for letting us invade their space.
By the way, I am not currently actively planning any more workshops for this year. BUT... if YOU want to plan it and host it in your neck of the woods, I am willing to take my message to you. Contact me if you are interested in more info.
