Holland Photo Arts — Charlottesville Wedding Photographers

Anne and I are returning home later from our annual trip to Dallas to participate in the Foundation Workshop. It remains one of the highlights of our year. From a creative standpoint, the love we feel among our colleagues here sets us new and higher paths for ourselves, culminating in more original work in the coming year. I’ll be writing more about this unique experience from a more personal standpoint shortly, but in the meantime, here is a video short of the event shot by the ever-talented Vladimir Chaloupka followed by a few images I took from the editing sessions done on second night of the workshop. Enjoy!

And here are a few from the second-to-last day:

David Pullum makes us laugh with funny British sayings over a dinner of Thai food…

Scott, Aga, and Ashley have a laugh with Huy about their assignments.

Verna sneaks a peek at Nic’s assignment while Jenn looks on.

Joe and his socks.

Greg holding forth.

John trying not to be camera-aware.

David looking like it might be time for bed. (I think it was about 2am when this was taken.)

Brooks demonstrating how to use a pinhole camera for Brian’s assignment. Just kidding. Not really. Just kidding.

Marcin looking at his work on the screen with Britt watching.

Anja reacts to a joke’s punchline.

Scott actually paying attention during Amy’s editing session. Not sure what everyone else is doing in this frame though.

Erin and Daniel get comfortable.

More shenanigans in Amy’s suite with Britt and Marcin.

This was posted on a wall-sized post-it. I’m not sure what one of these lines means, and I’m not sure I want to know. It’s certainly a Foundation first.

Stacy looks on while Janine checks her texts.

Duncan relaxes a bit.

Mark’s beard helps drive the slideshow.

A whole lot of lounging goin’ on.

Mark reacts to an image on the screen.

Dan watching while Jerry’s in the hot seat.

Jerry having a good time.

Katrina and our resident baby watch during Brooks’ editing session.

Courtney: “I’m not camera aware. I’m not camera aware. I’m not camera aware!”

Anahi has a brew to cool herself while in the hot seat.

Joe’s twittering while he watches the edits.

Taken about 3am. Folks are starting to get tired.

Jim reclines while awaiting his turn in the hot seat.
