I found out Monday night that I have been accepted to the Eddie Adams Workshop. The prestigious workshop selects 50 students and 50 young professionals (less than 3 years experience) and I feel very fortunate to have been selected on my first application attempt. I've updated my profile here.
The four day intensive workshop takes place October 9-12th in Jeffersonville, New York. I've never been to the Big Apple, let alone Jeffersonville, so I'm excited to get to experience the east coast for the first time.
This is BIG time folks. Top editors and photographers from the likes of The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, Time, Washington Post, Getty Images and the Associated Press descend on the workshop to pass on their knowledge and mentor the participants, many for years to come.
This is another achievement that I see as a stepping stone in my career. It's funny to imagine that a little over two years ago I had no idea where photography would take me. Despite the unknown I knew that I had a love for making images and that as my dad always says "everything will run it's course." So far, so good.
I have two working days left here at the Northwest Herald. I'm headed back to Denver on Monday.
