OK so I figured I’d throw out a little update on what’s going on.

JarvieU Changes

This experience has changed, I very much see it as a huge upgrade. No longer is it a normal internship experience. No longer is it office training only, or even a majority focus on office training.

It’s an EXCHANGE… I am spending a couple hundred hours of my summer training and putting on workshops and photography events. I put a price tag on it and then people work it off, meaning in essence they work off the training and workshops (Like a paid internship). The great thing for them is that this work is actually probably the most beneficial aspect of the summer for them. This way people put value on and appreciate my time and they feel their time is being valued as well. Also it’s happier on their pocket book to trade.

My hope is that because there are over a dozen students that it will be very worth it because I train multiple people at a time. I also try to let go and allow the students to quickly become the teacher… specially on small and simple projects.

THIS WEEK

  • Well last friday we had an all day workshop with 10 of us there
  • Monday’s usually end up being training days and yesterday there were 6 of us
  • I have a couple of big photoshoots this week and trying out having 2 assistants there.
  • Thursday evening I hope to do a very important and exciting presentation (two)
  • Saturday a Portfolio Building photoshoot
  • Pretty much every day there’s something except for today… but I’ve been able to edit and upload 3 batches of pictures.

To join the UPES group on Flickr go here

The plan is to set up a seperate Blog for this monthly competition.

To highlight pictures and have guest contributors talk about how they reached certain results.

When I get a couple moderators for said blog helping out and assigning other photographers to get that done I’ll do the wordpress install and get that Blog going.

But for now I’ll use my blog to show the winners of each picture.

The winner this month was David Daniels

The event took place at the Pictureline in Draper

When and where?
I am organizing a photo editing workshop for Saturday the 8th in the morning.
It will be Lightroom centered.
Pleasant Grove – conference room provided by photographer Jeremy Hall
Respond preferably through facebook
I’m organizing it through facebook.
So if you have that it would be prefered to login and comment on my status to get part of the discussion.
This way we can discuss and keep in contact for now.
I don’t want to go having to make a list of ya’ll and stuff.
Are you game?
Anyway.
Respond only if you’re certain you can make it saturday morning the 8th.
It will be in pleasant grove.
If you are sure you can make it and don’t have facebook I will give you more details.
There are a few more spots tentively open.
We don’t have unlimited space for everyone to sit and plugin their laptops or what not.
We’re thinking about 15
If it works well we could try it again.
FAQ
BTW, Lightroom can be downloaded and used on a trial basis just fine.
Knowing how to edit is very helpful in becoming a better photographer and stuff.
How it will probably run down.
It’s an informal gathering. What are you expecting from my free generosity?
I’ll have a big screen so you can see the main computer at work.
I will spend let’s say about 60-90 (maybe less) going over my workflow and showing off absolutely everything about lightroom. We’ll then play around with our own stuff answering eachother’s questions.
We’ll be doing show and tell and giving eachother insights and sharing presets and techniques and stuff.
Towards the end i’m sure people can go when they want, but I’ll remain to the end to help and answer questions.
Disclaimer
this doesn’t mean i think i know everything.
I just think we should be sharing our talents and I thought it would be fun.
Plus it’s much faster and effecient than helping people out individually all the time.
-This doesn’t include regular photoshop because… well that’s not what I’m good at.
