Awesome Thing #24 – Giving Back

So I hope you can forgive me skipping an awesome day …. again.? The scoop is that yesterday I was very busy at a workshop in Burlington with California photographer [b] ecker . It was a great day of learning and making great new connections.? I could easily spend this blog post telling you about how great a photographer [b]ecker is,? because he is…. I think if you follow the link on his name you’ll soon figure that out for yourself.? But I think the best part about [b]ecker is that he totally believes in giving back to the photographic community and helping everyone out that he can.? He’s developed this great community called the [b] school – which is definitely worth checking out if you are professional photographer.? I think he’s got some great advice… whether you like it or not, and I really respect that.? Of course he doesn’t show up for a workshop out of the goodness of his heart…. everyone needs to make a living….. but the point instead is that he’s willing to put himself out there, go the extra mile and show up… and that in my opinion is what makes him awesome…. or as he would say…. super [b]

Becker in action shooting the super cute couple of Justin & Melanie Driedger who were attending the workshop and didn’t know there were going to be our models until minutes before. Fabulous couple!

Becker took headshots of all of us.? This is him shooting Krista.

And last but not least…. a shot I totally stole off of Krista’s site.? Hope you don’t mind friend, just couldn’t resist!!

I guess the point is that no matter what you are doing… whatever career path you have chosen there are always new people coming up in the wings behind you…. find someone who is and encourage them!? We can all use a word of affirmation and kindness….. trust me it will feel awesome when you do!
