It’s November 15th, 2012 and I’m sitting at a local coffee house, relaxing, browsing the interwebz. I had remembered enrolling for a workshop on CreativeLIVE’s website. So I decided to check the page again. I noticed there was a call to be a part of the live studio workshop. I said to myself, “What the hell, lets make a video!” The coffee shop had some of my work on the walls, so I went around collecting my work, and shot this in one take:
I knew I wasn’t going to be selected, after all, I am disabled.
So I sent out a tweet to @creativeLIVE and #plattLIVE.
I RARELY used twitter. So, I forgot about it, until an email came to me saying “Jared Platt would like you to join him in Seattle! Please email xxxxx@creativelive.com for the next steps!” I couldn’t believe it!! THE Jared Platt selected ME to come join him!!
Now, currently I’m unemployed, so my next concern was $$. I called up my folks and without hesitation they said this will be my Christmas present!! I was so happy!
So I stayed up creating a brand new Twitter account. You can follow me here.
That was just two days ago! I’m reeling with excitement!
Yesterday, I watched some host auditions on creativelive.com. Got to know a lot of the CL staff! Adding all of them on my FB and twitter accounts!! They are ALL amazing photographers, and I hope I can change the way I’m doing things with their expertise and really LAUNCH James Geiger Photography into a new REALM!!!
I will be tweeting during my experience, and I’ll try to post a blog every night so you guys know if I’ve iced over! 😛
You all can join me and watch for me December 6-8 on CreativeLIVE.com 9AM-4PM PST or for most of my east coast friends 12pm-7PM EST!!! Click on the LIVE link. Enter the chat and say hey! I may or may not see it.
Thanks to Jared Platt and the whole CreativeLIVE team for giving me this amazing opportunity…see you all next Thursday!!!
