+Kelli Seeger Kim HUGE ((((((((HUG))))))
+Randy Jay Braun would be a great ambassador. https://plus.google.com/105385385448524520257/posts have your looked at the g+ mentorship program for photographers? I think there might be some fantastic community leaders in there.
+Patricia Davidson +Dave Nitsche +Mike Shaw You all are very welcome! It is something which all of you deserve, no bones about it. You all are some of the absolute shooters around and rest assured that won't be questioned by anyone. You all know your stuff too and are all very approachable and "real". Something which many aren't.
Thanks for the recommendation from +John De Bord. Much appreciated! I would be willing to attend, but I think the very best landscape photographers out there are +Guy Tal and +Jesse Speer.
Here are my suggestions:
1 – Portrait -+Alan Shapiro +Niki Aguirre +Annette Biggers
2 – Landscape – +Brian Matiash +Nathan Wirth +Patrick Di Fruscia
3 – Street Photography – +Victor Bezrukov
4 – Architecture – +Vivienne Gucwa +Thomas Hawk +helen sotiriadis
5 – Macro – +Kerry Murphy +Don Komarechka and +Chrysta Rae
6 – Night – +Ben Canales +Darryl Van Gaal
7 – Commercial – +Nicole S. Young +Ian Thomas (studio style)
8 – Photojournalism -
9 – Thematic (Autumn) – +Jay Patel +Varina Patel
10 – Surprise Theme – +Chris Chabot

People I think would make awesome embassadors
+Alan Shapiro +Brian Matiash +Ivan Makarov +Karen Hutton +Tamara Pruessner +Kelli Seeger Kim +Chrysta Rae and of course you +Scott Jarvie.
+John De Bord +Erik Stensland thanks guys, for dropping my name in this discussion of epic talent. Very flattered. I'm occupied with another project at the time, so I'll throw my support around the other names mentioned – especially De Bord's list, with the inclusion of +Olivier Du Tré.
Thank you so much +Ron Clifford and +Kelli Seeger Kim !
Helps +Athena Carey smother +Kelli Seeger Kim in kisses.
Then grabs +Ron Clifford in a bear hug and squeezes the poutine outta him.
And for what it's worth,
I think Long Exposure should be a category:+Athena Carey
as well as Food: +Nicole S. Young
also consider Wildlife: +Uwe Skrzypczak, +Mike Spinak +Lee Daniels (if she's feeling up to the trip)
+Alan Shapiro I think +Ron Clifford might need his poutine. You should leave that in him.
+Alan Shapiro for portrait for SURE.
+Kelly-Shane Fuller A guy needs his energy ya know!
+Jesse Speer thank you for the nomination my friend. Appreciate it a lot!
WOW!! Thanks you so much for all your mentions. We are really greatful for your support. We hope you all catch some fantastic fall colors in Utah during that time.
+Patricia Davidson I used to like you…but I dont know. LOL!! Just kidding.
+Kelli Seeger Kim We can understand the kids situation.
))
+Kelli Seeger Kim Thank you!!
+Ron Clifford wow!! Thanks for the shout out.
Thanks for all the nominations! I guess "food" could be the "surprise" category? Since it's up in the mountains it could be a camping-food theme, lol
ETA … this is a great list of photographers in these comments, +Scott Jarvie! I'm finding a bunch more to add to my circles
Thanks +Gordon Laing +Kelli Seeger Kim :)
Night – I'd have to say that +Ben Canales would be the man for Night, I bow down to his awesomeness (even if I really want to go myself) lol
Landscape – I'd have to go with +Jim Davis (who can fill multiple categories) and +Kieran O'Connor
Macro – How can you NOT like the work of +Kjetil Greger Pedersen
Portrait – I love +Alan Shapiro's work!
Thanks, +Darryl. Portrait's on me when you get to New York
I'm all over that!!! +Alan Shapiro
+Gordon Laing Thanks for the nomination/recommendation. +Scott Jarvie I'm available those dates if chosen by your committee. (Thanks!!!)
Thanks so much for then mention +Vivienne Gucwa and +CJ Sros :-)
Both of you should be ambassadors, and not only because you are brilliant at your art but as a true ambassador has to be your kindness is definitely on par with your talent
+Johan Swanepoel is a photographer I enjoy a lot following. Not sure the categories fit though his style of photos, but maybe Thematic or Commercial.
+Lotus Carroll would be a great fit for Surprise (I agree with +Mark Esguerra on this one)
and I again would suggest +Jeffrey Sullivan in the Landscape or Autumn arena. His skills in astrophotography are impressive!
Sorry forgot to mention +Thomas Leuthard as Street photographer.
Aw thanks +Laurent Coppée .
Thanks +Tony Payne ;)
Thanks +Tony Payne ;)
Street Photography…. +Julia Su
Nice. : )
Thank you for the nomination! I'd love to be a part of this.
+Scott Jarvie Ok, I see. But I think to shoot products you still need the lightning (artificial) and some place to shoot. It is hard to imagine product shots with ambient light: I mean it is possible, but it won't be wise to teach people to shoot products with ambient light, as this is a very limited approach to shoot products.
Saying this, I'd be glad to shot product commercial photography using speedlites and simple light modifiers.
We will need a room with a projector or a huge monitor, as this is the only way to shot immediate result when shooting tethered.
So, you can count me in.
Thank you guys!
Bisous à +Alan Shapiro!! ;)
I nominate +Michael Bonocore for landscape, heavy typing, and whimpering begs.
I suppose I should be allowed to nominate someone
+Trent Nelson for photojournalism
