Education in Atlanta
March/01/2009
It’s no secret that Carol Andrews and I absolutely love to teach the Studio Management Service Business Basics class. We finished one a weekend ago in Atlanta, and it was so great to spend time with a new group of photographers, many of them who were just starting their careers in photography. Here they are with their Merits in hand.
The Business Basics class was followed by a 3-Day Business Workshop, which moved in on Monday of last week. As you can see, we really enjoyed ourselves. Carol and I are shown with the class giving the business equivalent of a secret handshake. To learn what it’s all about, you’ll have to attend the next SMS 3-Day Business Workshop, which will take place in Atlanta on March 23-25 and will be taught by Carol Andrews and Julia Woods. I believe there are one or two spaces left.
In the image below, Carol is deep in conversation with class member Fima Gelman. I generally don’t single out a photographer for comment, but I doubt if the rest of the class would mind: we all got a tremendous kick out of Fima, whose sense of humor makes him a most compelling character. Fima has a great story, as he immigrated to the United States when he was 17 years old. The Gelman family came here, by way of Israel, from their homeland in the Ukraine. You can see Fima’s gift of finding and expressing humor at San Francisco-area weddings by logging onto his website. From the home page click on Weddings, then click on Humor. I enjoyed looking at the rest of the site, especially the section entitled Project Hope, which displays Fima’s photographic essay about Siberia’s orphaned children. Great work, Fima!
