Do you remember the “night before the first day of school” nerves? They came flying back to me about one month ago when I attended Dane Sanders‘ Fast Track Photography Roadshow. I was so nervous to meet all of the fellow photographers that October morning. Walking into the beautiful home & studio of the brilliant Ira Lippke was a little more intimidating. As soon as I stepped through the door I could feel the love already radiating from the room, with Dane so welcoming along with Ira and his awesome team. The first person I met was Ginny (Gin-NY) and I instantly knew we would be friends after hearing her southern accent (I am from Louisiana and proud of my southern roots). Ginny is a talented, fun-loving photographer who’s love for Christ is evident in her love for others and passion for photography.
I am so excited for Ginny to team up with incredible photographers Lauren Clark & Erik Clausen for an amazing 5 day For the Love workshop.
A little more info on the workshop from the For the Love site: “For the Love” is not like any other workshop. It’s actually designed as a spiritual retreat where you will also be able to learn from successful photographers who rely on God for creative inspiration. At “For the Love”, you will encounter God in a deep way. You will have a chance to get away from the constant demand of your career and seek God over your business in a quiet, secluded location. You will not only draw inspiration from fellow photographers, believers, and friends, but also draw inspiration from the creator of creativity….God.
I know so many great things are going to come out of this workshop and spiritual retreat. And because a blog post is not a post without a picture, here is something for you!
I took this last Saturday on my way to photography class at ICP I looked up and saw this view. I knew it was perfect for the “For the Love” Contest!
