Who says that the Winter months are slow.  I’m a “Type A” personality so keeping busy is natural for me.  When I am not working, I’m dreaming up a personal project or attending a workshop to further my education and networking with other wedding professionals.   I started the New Year at Mystic 5 a fantastic event that has been put on for 5 years by Walter Van Dusen .  The line up of speakers is just amazing and it’s such a fabulous way to start out the New Year.  I left feeling as though I might implode, silly terminology for “majorly inspired”.  2010 is going to be a fantastic year.  During one of the presentations, I got to be a part of Joe Mc Nally’s hands on approach to lighting on the fly with small strobes.  Joe’s career has spanned 30 years and his work is simply remarkable.  I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to step up their game in an intensive learning enviroment.  The photo below shows Walter in the foreground and me and my new friend Ritchie (who traveled all the way from Germany) gawking at his laptop.  Fun to be a part of.
