You saw the video last night and were intrigued, right?
Well here is more info on Zack Arias.
His site & portfolio are here: Zack Arias
His excellent blog
The OneLight workshops
And from a guest post he did on Scott Kelby's blog, the video that I probably watch 4-5 times a year. It's amazing, and often times is just what you need, when you really need it

Happy Halloween!
And the beginning of my favorite (and most busy) time of the year. Here are some images I shot of the kids at the Cal Poly Pumpkin Patch:
Don't forget to take lot's of pictures of your holiday gatherings, traditions, and parties. Great memories are made at this time of year. Be sure to include items that clue you in to the particular event, pumpkins, wreaths, presents, turkey, etc. And also remember to enjoy the event, the friends, the family, and not be solely focused on capturing images.

Dia De Los Muertos
We have 2 Dia De Los Muertos events that we will be attending in the next week, and everyone is welcome to both of them.
The first event is BIG! Come meet up with the Faded & Blurred crew at The Dia De Los Muertos event at Hollywood Forever Cemetery . We will be meeting out in front at 2pm. Last year was my first year attending, and I was blown away. The event is family friendly, and is $10 for a ticket.
Some images from this event last year:

Layers in Lightroom?!?
For my very last "Event Workflow Class", I wanted to show my students something cool that they may not know they can do. I will teach them how to fake "layers" in Lightroom. If your interested, stop by to learn how I did these Wednesday night. Great for making print packages, album pages, or poster collages. All 3 of these were done completely in Lightroom, no Photoshop required.

Give me something to believe in...
"Something to Believe In"
The link above takes you to the YouTube video for Poison's song "Something to Believe In". It's not available to embed. It's a great song with a poignant message, but it never mentions anything to actually believe in, it's more about the search. I posted a blog post very similar to this earlier this year, but I have had a strange week, with some emotional ups and downs this week, and this song has been in heavy rotation on my iPod recently. I will be going to see Bret Michaels (also a sufferer of diabetes) this weekend at an American Diabetes Charity show, and I have a feeling, when he performs this song, it will be pretty powerful for me.
Since my initial post, to say I've had some life changing events wouldn't do them justice. And with the upcoming end of my teaching at Tri, I've had a lot on my mind recently. So here is a slightly updated list with some new things I believe in.

Thank you Tri Students!
It is with a heavy heart, that I will be saying goodbye very soon. As many of you already know, I am leaving Tri. I need to spend more time with the family, with my daughter, and to get more focused on my own photography. But I will miss you guys. A lot. I have had an amazing 2 years with you. I have learned more from you then I could ever hope to teach, and for that I will be forever grateful. You are all amazing people, and I am proud to call many of you friends, peers. You have kept me on my toes, forced me to up my game, and I feel I am a better photographer, a better person for the experience.
I have really enjoyed watching you grow as photographers. Watching the wheels turning, seeing things click, witnessing the creativity. It is my hope that I may have played some small role in that growth, and that you continue to pursue this passion that we all share.
