It was surreal… THE day was finally here! All the stars were aligned for me attend Mike Colon’s Atlanta Workshop in May. I arrived with plenty of time to spare in Cumming, Georgia- a quaint, rather classy- hip ‘new’ place. The all day workshop was held at the ReTHINK Offices (owned by Reggie Joiner and his non-profit origanization) and to be amongst 20+ driven photographs from around the country and Panama, I knew this was going to be great! The RETHINK Offices was THE coolest work environment I’ve ever been in. It was setup up like a home, very modern but warm and cozy. Uncluttered and well planned- I can see myself calling a place like this my gallery/home.
But earlier this year, I was blown away at WPPI, an international photographer’s convention in Vegas. I had such a good time, I’m still smiling from that experience : ) I’ve met countless awesome, inspirational, talented, gifted photographers but one person I didn’t run into was Mike Colon. In person, he is much taller. Warm, calm, well spoken individual who LOVES what he does and is proud of his family. You can see his passion in his craft even after 10+ years in the industry. I was in the clouds. I couldn’t believe I get to do THIS! (Thank YOU Don, Cat, and my ‘fans’ for this opportunity to be here). Anyway, the class is filled with talent (near and far) and they have become my peers and friends. I’m so thankful.
Here are a few ‘behind the scenes’ shots…
