It's been a super-stressful week. Lots of stuff going on and then my video card crapped out mid-work last night. Evan was awesome and came over tonight to fix my shit and I owe him!! It's such a relief to have good friends who are also geeks. LOL
Today, I got up at 7, got ready, then picked up Athena Fatale and headed over to Chez Helms for the Erotica Workshop. Michael Helms and Perry Gallagher are hosting a two-day intensive and I offered to help them out because I figured this way I get to attend their workshop for free. LOL It was a good day overall, with a good mix of attendees. Everyone was really eager, not at all creepy, and I think they got some great shots. It doesn't hurt that they were able to shoot with some amazing models. (Models this weekend: Mosh, Anyssa, Athena, Scar, Natalie Addams, and Courtney Cruz)
Extra special bonus was hanging out with people I really like. I'm feeling lucky. =)
I really should be asleep already. I'll be up again at 7 so I can get there bright and early. Ramona promised me breakfast.

My extremely talented friend, Michael Helms and Perry Gallagher, are conducting an erotic photography workshop January 31 and February 1, 2009. This two-day intensive should prove to be very informative and I've managed to sneak my way into the event by offering to help out. The models attending will include Mosh, Scar, Kayla Jane Danger, Courtney Cruz, Mariya, and Natalie Addams. This is gonna rule! Topics include lighting, posing (communicating with the model), location and equipment in shooting Erotic Art and Fine Art Nudes.
Spaces are filling up fast, so make sure you register right away!!

I'm off to San Francisco tomorrow for the second time this month. This time, it's work-related, though. Zivity Bootcamp is on Saturday but I'm getting in a day early to settle in and meet everyone. I already know some of the Zivity team, one of the models (Mosh) and both the photographers (AddictedImage and Lithium Picnic). It's gonna be great!
I'm looking forward to the actual bootcamp as well. I'm teaching the portion on studio lighting. I hope I don't let anyone down. =)
