Workshop Road Trip

Posted in for photographers, Inspiration, Personal 13 comments

This week has been some thing new, a week like none other I have had, a week to treasure.

This week I attended a workshop hosted by the super talented Chris & Sarah Rhoads from Seattle. Yep, they came all the way down under to impart some of their amazingness to a small bunch of us very lucky photographers.

Bright and early on Tuesday morning I took to the highway, with my Canon in the boot and a truck load of excitement to sustain me for the 8 hr drive.

When I drove back home on Thursday, I was still excited. I still had my Canon with me, but I had also acquired some new things to carry with me, not just for the drive, but for my life as a photographer.

We photographers are a special bunch and I believe we each have magic powers. Magic powers that allow us into other peoples lives, to record moments, share, create and inspire.

I came home with a windscreen full of bugs and a strong note to self : Follow the things that make you come alive in your life.

Here are some rather random photos I took during my drive between Melbourne & Canberra

A special thanks to the wonderful Christine Pobke for organising the event and to Samm Blake for making a heartfelt guest appearance.

Also a big hello goes out to all my fellow workshoppee’s, it was great to meet you all and I look forward to seeing your photo creations to come.

You’re such a tease Miss Gem – I thought we were going to get to see workshop piccies! My favourite thing about road trips is taking random shots along the way. Anyhoo, love these shots, especially the first one. Reminds me of home :)
