October 2011 marked the one year anniversary of me earnestly working  towards my Master Of Photography degree through Professional  Photographers of America (PPA).  To earn said degree you have to earn  twenty-five merits, thirteen of which MUST be print merits and twelve  CAN be service/education merits.  It arduous, it's expensive, and it's  awesome!  I attended this 
Super Monday  workshop sponsored by PPA in order to earn an education merit.  It was  taught by the amazingly talented Miyo Strong of 
Busath Studio and  Gardens and was titled 
Weddings that Wow.   It was a lot of fun.  We worked mainly on lighting and as I am trying  to mesh supplementary lighting into my shooting style I found it very  beneficial.

Come to find out that our lovely female model is from Eden, it's a small world!

I like to take behind the scenes shots...the mob of photographers makes me giggle.  I used this in a montage with one of the couple for my 
My World shot from that day.


This bride was renewing her vows and she had the COOLEST accessories and tattoos.  I'm not showing all the details to save space but they were to die for.  Awesome jewelry, awesome hairpiece, awesome dress!  I love when people have a strong personal style.  Know who you are and LOVE it people!!

So one year down and I have five education/service merits and two print merits.  Not bad for a first year....eighteen to go!!
 
Congrats on all the points you have earned. That's a lot of work. I especially love the 1st and last picture on this post. Very breathtaking!
