Invest in your Photography – Join us at our Workshop in the Los Angeles Area on Monday and Tuesday http://markdaughn.com/workshops2011/la/twip.html Discounted for TWiP Listeners…… Los Angeles Workshop TWiP Special Offer This will be a combo teaching and shooting workshop. Day one will start with a very intense lecture and demo on all aspects of a glamour shoot including lighting, model relations and styling. Then we will move into the studio and you will step behind the camera and shoot several images on several different sets using the techniques you have just learned. I'll explain the lighting process and concept for each scene. Day two we will be on location and will jump straight into shooting. We will shoot 6 to 8 different scenes with two different models. In my opinion, this is the best way to learn the process of creating your own concepts and lighting. You will not only get stunning images, but also learn the process of crafting them yourself. This workshop will include up to Playboy level nudity. This is not a shoot out – this is one on one shooting. Dates: Monday and Tuesday, November 7 & 8 Time: 9am – 5pm Special TWiP Price – […]

Ok there are some stipulations…. If I gain followers at the current pace (and honestly no idea why it has gone up again but i thank whoever has shared me in a circle or to my adoring spammers) I will bypass Mark Zuckerberg in T-Minus 630 days…. As long as he ads no one…ever again.. Oh PS: I will actually post and respond to people no matter how many followers I might ever get… that grates me that those with massive lists of followers do not for the most part interact with those followers…. That is not all of them but many it is… I know +Guy Kawasaki does…. and several others but clearly if you are followed by many why on earth would you not interact with those followers… that's why we have G+ and why people are on here… and clearly many of those people would not be who they are without those followers….
