Jennifer and Frances Pappas put on a great workshop! Their little olive-painted salon/photo-studio was perfect with Marilyn Monroe prints religiously placed strategically around the rooms. They had great Greek food across the street where the owners hugged you when you came in! This life is so different from my own! It is almost right out of an Indie film. I loved it! Einstein Bagel breakfast and we were good to get out and shoot!

First stop: Vizcaya Museum! What a great place!! I had made it a goal to shoot there and Jennifer made it a reality. With its expansive gardens combining elements of Renaissance Italian and French designs, we had enough to shoot for many hours.

Next stop: Down Town Fort Lauderdale Urban Style!

We even shot on the last night of the workshop with a 3rd model, video light style. We were invited into a very high-end restaurant by the owner who was watching us do are thing across the street from him. We wondered around looking for cool nooks and funky light to play with!

I have a new and wonderful respect for shooting in tall parking garages. What fun!

Thanks everyone for coming! Thanks Jennifer and Frances for a fun workshop!

Here are some of my favorite shots from many of the photographers at the workshop.
