Master Your Craft Seminar Update - San Francisco, CA

Hey everyone! David Escalante here, updating you on the last stop of the Master Your Craft tour: San Francisco! The last stop of the tour was filled with fun and excitement as Bob and Mike shared their expertise with the group. The very talented Ron Dawson of Cinematic Studios was on hand to capture some of the day for an upcoming secret project.

A big thank you to everyone who came out to the tour! It was so good to connect with old friends and meet new ones as well. Thank you to our sponsors as well: Apple, Epson, GraphiStudio, PPA, WPPI, Wescott, Calumet, Triple Scoop Music, and LiveBooks.

Mike has released the seats for The Colón Experience IX, a 4 day intensive workshop. This workshop has limited seats and is filling up quickly. The last 4 day intensive was awesome and everyone came away from it with inspiration and new ideas to grow their business! Here is what a few people had to say:

"The workshop is awesome, more than I expected. Mike’s discussions on technique and workflow have been extremely helpful. In just two days I’ve completely changed the way I shoot." - Phillip Glickman

"Wow...that's all I can say :) I have learned more in one day at Mike's workshop than I could have ever dreamed of. It's kind of like a light bulb coming on over your head..." - Courtney Fries

"I cannot say how impressed I am with Mike over the course of the workshop. He really has a genuine interest in teaching other photographers and wanting to help them take their work up to the next level." - Steve Goldhaber

The Secret Sauce

I got permission to disclose what I've been doing this week as long as I didn't give any details. I just spent two amazing days with 10 of the world's top photographers from every industry brought together by Apple here in Cupertino at the "Mother Ship" for an advisory panel meeting to help Apple better understand the needs of photographers. After spending this time behind closed doors with Apple's top executives and engineers, I am so impressed with how forward thinking they are and how eager they are to make my life simpler, more efficient, and more effective as a professional photographer. Wow... our industry has changed so much in the past few years and so much of that change was made possible by Apple! Apple's got the secret sauce that turns wild ideas into reality. I can't wait to see what comes from our discussions this week!

I had to hit up the Apple Store before I left for some new toys :)
