"Camron Wilson, 17, 0f Colorado Springs launches out of the bowl at Goose Gossage Skateboard Park in Colorado Springs, Colo. on June 16, 2008."
Just kidding. Actually I am taking classes this week just not how you think. Last week I decided to attend the Rich Clarkson Sports Workshop on a whim and considering that I have nothing better to do with my life at the moment it seemed like a great idea. The faculty list is AMAZING so I just couldn't pass it up. There are editors and photographers here from Sports Illustrated, AP, Getty, National Geographic, Newsweek as well as other top freelancers. Getting the opportunity to see some of my idols work is great but it's even better to sit down with them, have a conversation and let them review your work. I'm meeting with the Associate Picture editor for Sports Illustrated tomorrow and that doesn't just happen in the real world.
After meeting with Rich last week he really thought that this workshop would benefit someone in my position. He even sat down with me for a second time today to go over some of my images again. I appreciate this opportunity and I'm taking advantage of it.
I'll post again near the end of the week with some more stuff.
