The Path to Pro

We’ve put together a special VisionMongers event for anyone wanting to become a working photographer, or those currently making the transition, or struggling. Presentations by both my manager, and the author of Living the Dream, Corwin Hiebert, and myself, for those wanting a truly candid and highly actionable discussion about making money with your photography.
This will be an honest evening about pursuing a challenging dream, and all the cards will be on the table. If you’re looking for a template or pattern to follow, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for solid advice and ideas from two guys who wake up every morning and live the dream, with all its struggles and challenges, then this will be two hours you don’t want to miss.
Participants from The Created Image seminar will also be in attendance, it will be a great night! Tickets are just CAD $40 and the event will take place 7:00pm – 9:00pm on July 11 at the Roundhouse in Yaletown (Vancouver, Canada). Space is very limited.

Lalibela, Ethiopia Within The Frame
The first time I saw the pilgrimage to Lalibela felt like a pilgrimage of my own. Days and days of driving north in what’s a far larger, far more mountainous country than I ever imagined. What I knew of Ethiopia could have been reduced to what I’d learned of it during the heartbreaking famine of [...]
