Two years ago I attended a small get together for photographers in Mystic, CT. That meeting drew 28 people and was the catalyst for the main pages on my photography techniques blog.  It was also the very first presentation I did in front of other photographers, and as such was the actual kick-start to the workshops that I’m currently presenting.

So it was with real pride that I was invited to do a presentation again this week in Mystic - the third such get together.  By now the event had grown to 120 photographers meeting up! The subject of my presentation this time was how to use flash for some quick scene sweetening. (A description that Bruce Dorn kindly allowed me to appropriate for myself.)

The get together had evolved into a 12 hour program with top-notch speakers. And it was a real honour to do a presentation along with top photographers like David Mielcarek, Monika Broz, Michelle Turner, Steven Frischling, Walter van Dusen, Joseph Prezioso, Ben Chrisman, Michael Cody and Doug Boutwell.

Walter my friend, you did yourself proud with this event, really upping the standard to a new high!
And Jeannie, hopefully the shirt is less crumpled for your tastes this time.
