As we close out the great year photographically, it’s time to get ready for 2016.

 

FIRST:   Many of this year’s events are sold out or almost sold out, so with that vote of confidence, it’s time to focus on what I will teach this year.  (Sorry about the pun “Focus in”)  couldn’t help myself.  So after months of thought I realized that my friends, clients, customers are ready for the next step.  So this year my emphasis will be on the process of stepping up our visual acuity,, your ability to see, formulate and compose for better images.  A heavier emphasis on image reviews that go deeper and teach more.

 

SECOND:  The His Light Workshops this coming year are limited to 8 Guests.  I want to have a closer, more tight knit experience among myself and the students.  I’m excited to see how the new formula works, I’m betting a much better experience for everyone involved.

 

THIRD:  With the creation of Artists Standing For Christ, things are heating up spiritually, and I’m praying on how to best handle that in our workshops.  I know exciting things are ahead.

 

FOURTH:  The Gear, what am I going  to carry th is year and what am I going to use.  This one is a heck of a lot tougher.  Fuji has done a really bad thing, they’ve produce enough incredible bodies and glass that choosing is no longer easy.  My mantra has always been simplify!  It’s really hard to do so now with so many wonderful options.  My solution?  If traveling by car, I will carry two main camera bags; one with the Two X-T1s, 10-24, 16-55, 18-135, 50-140, 1.4 Converter, in the Second, a X-T10,  14, 16, 23, 35, 56, 90 .  In a small third bag I keep a Fuji X100T and an X30.  Of course tons of extra batteries. polarizers, auto extension tubes, and on and on!

 

There will be more, but that’s it for now.  I’m really looking forward stop the coming year with all of you!!!!

 

 

Blessings,

GET EXCITED,  I’m currently testing something from Fuji and I can’t wait to share about it, but I can’t, not until it is officially releases, I can’t say anymore but I can tell you it is going to be EXTREMELY Big!  Be patient, it is worth it!!
