Where to find inspiration–that freshy–fresh, wow!–That little bit of zip to start the next cycle. I’m at the first of several workshops sponging up everything I can. I’m a snob. A show-me-the-money, what–can–you–teach-me, snob about attending workshops. My inner journalist is banging a lead pipe against the inside of my skull as I listen to my mentors and workshop-goers alike. Don’t get me wrong here–I am going to get my money’s worth of value if I have to squeeze them like limes for my famous homemade margarita mix (using natural limes, brown sugar and a splash of OJ–but that is another blog post).

This is how I roll and I expect the same no–holds barred, take–the–sissy–gloves–off–approach to any and all critiques and small tidbits of wisdom leveled upon me. I don’t need anymore smoke blown up my ass–less there be an explosion of all the sugar-coated, patty cakes that is usually digested at these things. I’m a big boy–let me have it.  I’m here to learn and be inspired — my craft depends on on it and my clients expect it.

That said: Here’s a few more images from a live shoot we did today. I learned a few things. I met some nice people. In the end I’ll take my 10% away and apply it to what I do leaving the other 90% to those that need it more.  For this small edge I will be 100% better and my clients will be 100% happier.
