Answering Your Questions About... GUEST BLOGGING FOR PHOTOSHOP WORLD PAL MICHELLE HEDSTROM OF OGRE PHOTOGRAPHY check her out on the web at: Glad to see that you have been reading our blog. We got a HUGE response last Friday when we shared a guest blog spot we did for Michelle Hedstrom, of Ogre Photography, a friend I met at Photoshop World in Las Vegas. Many of you requested the full blog again, which you can find at: Excited about your response, I wanted to share some additional thoughts about the experience: Michelle Hedstrom and I met as part of a Facebook group headed to PSW~Vegas, there were probably 30 or more members in the FB page. For some time prior to the PSW, we all exchanged comments, opinions and ideas on everything from illustration, graphic design, photography and Photoshop trying to figure out the best classes to take and of course always, where to eat & what to drink when we got there. (not in that order) Once we everyone met and got to know each other a bit, we talked about equipment, what we could shoot while in Vegas and on one very funny day, we even had a creative collaboration on just to how much chaos we could cause in the floor of the expo, dragging in some of the most talented, funny people I have ever met into the fun. Along with everyone else in that group, we laughed hard and smiled often during our time at PSW. From the shoot in Nelson, NV on Monday morning with a very small group then at the face to face meeting with the cool kids at the House of Blues on Monday night. We were having a BLAST as the weed started and PSW hadn't even begun. Wednesday kicked off the Photoshop World conferences where we sat with small groups of friends, breaking off after the keynote to attend our classes. Some sessions we attended with friends and some alone. We seemed to join coincidentally, however, day after day on the floor of the expo shooting at the Westcott booth and just hang out. We all talked, cameras, Photoshop, lighting, freebies and giveaways, who had what... and of course the lists of what we all wanted but couldn't afford. We looked at our friend's portfolios on iPads, iPhones, cell phones and even beautiful matted prints. We shared, we learned and we laughed. I enjoyed the friends I made that week, was glad to be a guest blogger for Michelle and hope that she will be doing the same for me very soon. I look forward to her sharing her love of concert photography and extreme action sports. I know when you see her amazing images you will be as floored as I was! Keep an eye out! Thanks again for following our blog and emailing me your questions! |
