enlighten: goPRO Workshop {Part I}
Welp, here I go. Off all by myself to San Diego for a photography workshop hosted by Blue Lily Photo. I’m pumped and scared out my mind at the same time.
I’m pumped because: (1) San Diego’s forecast is 70 sunny the entire time I’ll be there. That sure beats the -29 I faced on Friday. (2) I’ll be staying ON THE OCEAN in a party house with people who love photography. (3) I’m traveling ALONE!! I haven’t done that since 2008! Do you know what that means?! Time to think – uninterrupted. Time to sleep – ALL NIGHT! (sorry, maybe I’m getting too pumped here) (4) I’m going to get my butt kicked – in a good way. I’ll be watching Wendy and Tyler in action, soaking in all kinds of info, forced to try things hands on….and who knows what else. (5) I’m going to laugh. I need to laugh. To give you an idea of how much I’ll laugh you have to read THIS. (Seriously, read it. Trust me.)
I’m scared out of my mind because: (1) I’m going to get my butt kicked. (2) I’m an introvert staying in a party house with strangers. (3) I’ve never done anything like this before. (5) I’ve never been away from Mariah this long – and never gone this far. (4) I know I’m going to have even MORE work when I return thanks to the ideas, plans and tips I walk away with.
So it’s a good scared out of my mind because I’m going to be stretched and pushed and challenged and I know I’ll walk away a better person and photographer because of it. But still…I’m scared. I mean who knows what they’ll have us do. They’re pretty crazy, as in they lose their car in the parking lot and take pictures in bathrooms crazy.
And just to make everyone in Minnesota jealous, heres’s a view from the just down the block from the party house:
