Big Happenings On Friday!

Good Morning Everybody!

We’ve got lot’s happening before we jump the jet to Orlando, Florida early Monday morning.  So let me tell you about some good things coming your way.

Our Budapest Master Class Officially Announced

Last year Clay Blackmore and I and 52 others (24 students, spouses, and friends) had a blast in Tuscany, Italy. We decided to do it again, but this year we’re in Budapest!  Clay and I just barely announced our next Master Class to be held in Budapest, Hungry September 9-16, 2013 [link] and the class is over half booked already.

I have to say, it is the education bargain of the century. In addition to eating, sleeping, and breathing photography, lighting, and composition with Clay and myself for several days your registration also includes: 

• 7 full nights in Budapest nestled on the beautiful Danube River,
• Lodging at the famous Danubius Hotel Gellért and home to the world’s most famous spa,
• A day trip to the stunning city of Vienna,
• Most meals,
• And plenty of fine wine.

I think there are about ten spaces available so if you are interested in a fantastic trip of a lifetime check out all the details right here or call this number right away 202-448-2895 to make your reservation.

BTW, here are a few links below to my blog posts about our Tuscany Master Class experience – checking out those posts will give you a flavor of the class.  I think Budapest is going to be even more exciting!

Heading To Photoshop World

I can’t believe it’s that time of year again!  But in a few short days we’re off to another fun filled and brain frying week at Photoshop World.  Photoshop World is one of our favorite conventions to attend.  The amount of information one gets is overwhelming; the attendees are great to meet – we make new friends each time we attend; and the energy of the event is just outright contagious!

I’ll be instructing my wedding Pre-Con on Tuesday, and them two more programs during the rest of the week.  You can also catch me at the PeachPit Theater presenting two additional programs.  Just check schedules when you arrive.  And, please be sure to come on up and say HI if you see me running around the show. Here is the link to all the Photoshop World details right here.

Tim and Beverly Walden U - Best Portrait Class Ever!

LaDawn and I recently had the opportunity to sit in on Tim and Bev’s class and, I have to tell you, we walked away with pages of powerful and effective sales and marketing ideas that were worth their weight in gold!  You can get all the info right here.

Walden U will be held July 28th and 29th, 2013 at the Walden's Photography studio in Lexington, KY. Sign up before April 28th, 2013 and receive the early bird discount of $100 when you enter the promo code EBWU.

The investment in Walden U is about the best thing a photographer can do for their business.  This class is for any photographer wanting to take their business and profits to new heights.  The entire experience - Bev and Tim’s warm hospitality, the generosity and passion of their sharing, and their insights and strategies to marketing portrait photography – make for a not to be missed learning experience!

Hey gang, that’s it for me today.  I’m still planning to get a Technique Tuesday and Business Day Thursday posted before we leave on Monday.  I’ll post them with Tuesday and Thursday’s dates so they will appear before this post on the DPT blog.  Hope you enjoy them.

Have a great weekend and I’ll see you in Orlando next week,  David
