The rest of the story

Joe Buissink

Ok, so... I've been brooding over the images I did at Joe Buissink's work shop that I attended last week. Things that Joe taught are starting to impact. You know what I mean? You make a connection with something or someone, and days later it starts the gears turning. So today, I went back to the images that I captured in Kelowna and went digging. The result: a totally different look at what I saw.

As a dear friend of mine in Tibet would always say, "my like!"

First of all, as Joe is saying with his hands... you've got to shoot with your heart! and, look for those special moments between moments.


"there is no such thing as a perfect image, only a perfect moment" oh I like that!









And this is my new friend Jon Lee.




And my dear friend Lauren Brown, making gorgeous images as usual.




hmmm, stealing images on private property. I couldn't resist the temptation. I wonder what the sentence would be for such things in Canada?


And perhaps one of the most insightful and passionate photographers of our time, Joe Buissink.

Photo Guest Book

June 27 Big Sky wedding

Just finished designing the photo guest book for Barbara and David and it's amazing, I just love it. I was just sitting here looking at it, feeling all warm and fuzzy. Whoa, Larry get a grip, the wedding is still 3 weeks away. Ok, well what can I say... I get wrapped up in my work.

Enjoy the view!

Photography Workshop

with Joe Buissink

Wow, what a treat. I just finished spending 3 days in Kelowna, a beautiful city on a lake in British Columbia, Canada. Lauren Brown and I attended a photo workshop with a most amazing photographer, Joe Buissink. I've admired Joe's work for the past couple of years and finally my schedule lined up with a workshop in BC, hosted by Gary Fong and his lovely and gracious wife, Melissa Carl. The workshop was held on the amazing Twin Creeks Ranch owned by Gary and Melissa. We had a class of 13 photographers. Joe is one of the top ten photographers in his field and an inspired speaker and teacher. We spent two full days learning, shooting, talking, networking and meeting new friends.

It was a rewarding experience which will take weeks to fully assimilate. It really stirred new and passionate thoughts in my work. INSPIRING, to say the least. Enjoy a few of the photos from yesterday's shoot.















Here's our group.



Joe, thanks for sharing time with us. Your workshop was everything I thought it would be... and more.

Gary and Melissa, thanks for having us in your home. What a fabulous place!
