2012 registration now open

post written on 10 Nov 11 in Workshop news

I’m in a bit of disbelief to say that for our fifth year (where does the time go?!), we’ll be hosting the Roots Workshop on Cape Cod again for a week in July.

Started as a simple idea to gather together a group of like-minded professional photographers passionate about the craft of photojournalism, the workshop has grown to embody an experience, a mid-season refresher and often a perspective shift so desperately needed in our industry where we don’t speak a lick about weddings or trends or business, but only about the core of who we are as visual artists striving to tell other people’s stories through our images. It doesn’t matter if you have the fanciest new camera on the market if you don’t have the chops to back it up, folks. We all have room for improvement. Roots is a safe environment to do just that. And man, the growth that takes place is WOW inspiring and makes all the nutty logistics and legwork worth every ounce of effort.

I invite you to take a peek at a slideshow below put together by the brilliant Eric Laurits from this past July to give you a glimpse at a bit of what goes on. And then I urge you to run a quick report on Quickbooks to see where you spent your money last year. If you didn’t spend at least one wedding’s income on education, ask yourself why not. You and your clients deserve it. I challenge you to resolve to do so in 2012. We all guarantee it will forever change the way you think and see, see and think. Join us, won’t you?

Registration is now open for the Roots Workshop 2012 class, July 22-26. Special guest speakers, a scholarship contest and a 5th anniversary assignments twist to be announced. I can’t wait! Call or email us asap to reserve your seat!

Roots student Lucy Parker on Pinhole Pro

post written on 10 Nov 11 in Sponsors, Workshop news

Lucy Parker was the lucky duck to score a f-r-e-e seat to Roots via a Facebook contest so generously gifted by our sponsor Pinhole Pro. They caught up with Lucy after the workshop to ask her about her experience and we thought you might like to take a peek at her interview! A million thanks to Pinhole for their support. We were so happy to have had with you there with us, Lucy! Click here to read her interview and here to check out the wonderful paper goods from Pinhole.
