My friends at BlackRapid are helped me out by hosting my first ever reader appreciation workshop in Seattle on Saturday April 27, 2013. Everyone seemed to have a great time and the most repeated phrase I heard was “this was better than most workshops that I’ve been to in the past”!

They both volunteered to give up a Saturday and work at a drastically to help make this event happen at the lowest cost possible, so a huge thanks goes out to these real pros. They made me look good as well as all of the photographers who worked with them!

THANK YOU
Thank you to all the readers who attended, and a HUGE thank you to Ron Henry & BlackRapid for hosting his event Susie Nisco for pulling everything together to make it all run smoothly. Heck, Susie even pinched hit as a third model which was above and beyond the call of duty – BlackRapid is so lucky to have her on their team!
I’d also like to thank onOne Software, ThinkTankPhoto, Borrowlenses.com, Google, Topaz Labs, and BlackRapid for their generous gift support as well! I’d also like to thank Glazers Cameras who gave us a discount on the rentals to help lower costs.
While this workshop cost me several hundred dollars and a day away from my family, I was thrilled to get a chance to interact with my readers. I wish I could have supported even more people, but the hands on approach of this workshop was very important to me. I hope everyone who attended enjoyed it. If you did, please show your support by sharing links to your favorite articles on your favorite websites, forums, social media, digg, etc…; donating; or coming back here to use my links or discount coupon codes when you order your photography gear or photo editing products. If you have any questions or need a link, just contact me and I’ll be happy to help! – Ron
