Photo Blast 2013 - Professional Photographers of Ohio

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of attending Photo Blast 2013, put on by Professional Photographers of Ohio (PPO).

Wow, what a crazy busy weekend, not only did I have the chance to attend  two full day workshops, but I had the opportunity to make a bunch of new photography friends!!  I loved the energy of this event, I have been a member of  PPO for three years, but last year was the first time I was able to attend their winter seminar and I was only able to catch a few of the speakers.  This year, I was able to take two full day class/workshops and also attend three more seminars through out the weekend.  By the time I got home, my brain was on over load!!  It took a few days for me to catch up on my sleep!!

The first workshop I took was with Hanson Fong, this man is amazing!  He is a master photographer, who has been winning awards since he started his business in the 70's!  He was extremely kind and  very funny!!  He had us laughing the entire day!  He also never tired of the endless questions our class threw his way!  He was so open and honest about everything, it was truly an honor to get to train with this legend!!  Thank you Hanson!

The second workshop I took was with Ted & Rachel Linczak, Linczak Photography.   This power house couple is one of the most amazing wedding photographers in Ohio, and they are located in the Cleveland area!  I have followed their work for years, and had actually met them about four years ago, when I contacted them about a one on one training day.  They were amazing back then, and have become even more awesome as the years have gone by!  It was so wonderful getting the chance to take a class with them again!  As always, they are both the kindest people you will ever met, they are also always willing to answer my millions of questions!!   I am sure Ted and Rachel would tell you that I never run out of questions!!  I am so thankful that they are so willing to help me out when I need something!  What a fabulous class this was, thank you Ted and Rachel!!
