I have been so, so bad about posting about our trip to Europe earlier this year! I know that so many of you guys have been waiting to see some of our pictures! (I know because all those emails I keep receiving asking “WHERE ARE THOSE PICTURES?!” is a pretty dead giveaway. :)) So at long last, here’s a little glimpse into all the fun we’ve been telling you about!
You’ll remember that we took just about the entire month of January to do a little bit of traveling. This was definitely a multi-destination trip and we mixed a little bit of business in along with the fun. We started in Texas where we put together a week long workshop for other professional photographers and then we immediately flew to London where we arranged another full day of seminars during a large photography convention there. After that, it was time to relax a bit and enjoy some sights! Rene actually put together a little gallery of some of the images that he took from our entire trip. You can see them all here: http://www.tiradophotography.com/eve…507/index.html
As an extra special bonus, we were joined on this trip by some very good friends of ours. Ulysses and Jenni Ashton, another husband and wife photography team from New York (www.ulyssesphotography.com) were there with us. And so were Jerry Ghionis, Sally Sargood and Ryan Schembri all from XSiGHT photography in Australia (check out their work at: www.xsight.com.au). Jerry and Ryan have won so many awards for their work that I’ve stopped trying to count them all. They’re amazingly talented and deserve all the recognition they’ve received (and keep receiving!!) both here in the US and overseas. Just take a quick peek at both XSiGHT’s website as well as the Ashton’s and you’ll see why we’re so incredibly proud of them!
It turned out that Jerry also had a couple of workshops scheduled right around the time we had planned our trip so we all adjusted our schedules a bit so that we could all spend those several weeks together. Jerry also asked Rene and I and Jenni and Ulysses to model for him during his workshops and after *cough* twisting our arm a bit we finally agreed. We’ve done this for Jerry before and we always have so much fun that I could easily argue that we probably get more out of it than the attendees at his workshops do!
Anyways, I’m going to break up our trip in a few different posts to make it easier to read. (Is having a long run-on blog entry similar to have a long run-on paragraph??) Starting with the next post, I promise - more images, less words!
