What was gonna be
OK I meant to post this like months ago.
As you can tell… I didn’t.
And maybe that’s to your advantage.
I wanted to do a small workshop for either 4 or 8 people in Maui for 3 days.
Not so much to make money but to have fun and of course pay for the trip and to share.
Well I’m still going to Maui June 6th-11th, I have a condo, I plan on getting an off-roading Jeep and just going everywhere and taking tons of pictures.
But I doubt in 2 weeks time we’ll get the people together to do a workshop. People seem to plan months in advance for large expenses like that… and let’s just say Jarvie isn’t the best at planning that far in advance so I don’t know if workshops will ever be the road I go down.
What is now gonna be
SOOOOO…. Who wants to go on a Photographic Guided Tour?
1 or 2 people can even jump over to Kona to help photographic the wedding that saturday.
I kinda figure if you’re interested enough and have the time you’ll probably make it happen.
If you want to, you can think of it as a cheap priced 4-day workshop.
But in the end I’ll probably just end up having you split costs (housing, transportation)
Heck I know most of my friends are poor so I’ll give the fun/cute people a deal. Like you know they can be the model or something.
Why have people go?
Because last time I went i found that having other people there kept me motivated and sane.
Motivated: because I need to get my butt out of bed at pretty darn early times for sunrise and there are times when you just don’t want to but I know I can do it when I have someone else to help or when I feel responsible for providing a great experience. (Unless you’re hardcore don’t ask what time it is)
Sane: I enjoy talking. I enjoy sharing. I enjoy teaching. I feel that all of those make me a better photographer, and knowing I’m helping someone else become a better photographer makes me happy as well.
Qualified? Worth it?
Well I don’t know… I’ll show off what I did last time and personally I hope to get twice as good of stuff next time.
My style is this: I drive around a bunch and just capture everything and everywhere and hold up for a little while during sunrise and sunset.
So if you like 100% structured then you’ll hate this. I structure just enough and then allow for amazing opportunities and inspiration.
The results
Cliche – yes sunset beach at sunset… of surfers!
Wait for it… sunset is cool… but twilight things get crazy!!
Snorkeling is a must!! (Maybe some scuba)
Gotta throw in some beach pictures of course!
Crazy awesome happenstances (above)
Find some animals of course
Above: Place where everyone else shoots
Below: Where hardly anyone goes.
Can you say off-roading action? Where hardly anyone else goes.
Oh, my gosh….HOW MUCH IS IT????
Flight, jeep, condo for like a week is about 1300 or so. Photo instruction at no cost
Oh, I really, really want to go! I am seriously going to think about this. I am fairly new to photography but would absolutely LOVE to have the opportunity to learn from you! I loved your shots from the last wedding in Hawaii! This sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime!
Drool… amazing shots Scott! Those dang 3 kids, hubby and no money.
