Trying to catch up………
Have I got your attention???!!! More about this great event in a moment!!! FIRST, I am still alive, sorry I’ve been missing action!!!! My wife made me promise to give our family all my time for the last ten days, (I did slip in one blog entry), but we had all our kids and grandkids! We had a great time, but I’m slowly getting back into business!!!
O.K. I’m breaking great news for my readers, and there will be much more soon! A dear buddy of mine, Wilson Reynolds, world famous for his extreme fishing and hunting show on the National Geographic Channel, and a great photographer in his own right, has invested in a beautiful Lodge in Townsend, Tennessee, The Tremont Lodge and Resort, and his goal from the beginning is to establish a base camp for photographers in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The lodge is first class with great meeting facilities and will be a wonderful home of a new event he is starting. The last week of October, (prime color time for the Smokies) the 28th through November 1st, 2015 (YES this year!!!) We will debut The First Annual Great Smokey Mountains Photography Summit. This is destined to become one of the great annual events in photography!!!
This Seminar will feature some of the top photographers, teachers, speakers in the field today! The list is still being finalized, but we expect to have; Scott Kelby, Rob Sheppard, Tony Sweet, Matt Kloskowski, Jack Graham, Len Rue Jr., Bill Lea, Ken Jenkins and Jim Begley, Wilson and I will be speakers too! The event will have lost of break out sessions, the chance to shoot early mornings in the Smokies during great fall color, vendors displays, and lots of great times around the fire pit! Every attendee will also get a great Comfort Colors t-shirt, these will be collectors items as each year a new volume of this event will be enjoyed! The fee for all of this will be $450. but if you register early, you can save $75. and attend for just $350. Much, much more details to come, but mark those dates now and joins for a fantastic new photography event in the best place, at the perfect time of year!
Stay ruined for more info!!!!
Now, tomorrow I will announce the 2016 Events Jim and I will do with His Light for 2016 plus details on some of my workshops with Jack Graham Photography as well!!!
So I’m back!
Blessings,
the pilgrim
P.S. Please keep Jim and Sue Haverstock in your payers, they are rushing back form a Hawaii vacation as Jim’s mother past away yesterday. Please lift them up!

Glad you got some quality time with the family. Remember the most important legacy we can leave behind is in the lives of our family and friends. I was beginning to worry about you as you seemed to be running around like a kid hyped up on sugar. You gotta slow down occasionally, just occasionally!

Oops. Forgot to mention that at first glance the banner looked like the Great Smoky Mountains “SLIM-IT.” If so, I really need it!
Does, doesn’t it!
