Heading back

Today is my last day in Colorado. I'm going to miss this sight...

Fun Fun Fun

I'm just having such a riot in Colorado. Last night was an awesome cookout and then we went to a local bar to play some fuseball and air hockey. Kevin and I had a couple very close air hockey games with some major bets happening. I was on the losing end of two of them. Here's a picture of Kevin and I last night doing our hang loose Hawaii.

 

And this is a picture of my new Nebraska pal, Jess, along with the two Colorado school directors, Rick and Jeff.

And here's the funny spectacle of 24 photographers going on a shoot in the little town of Breckenridge. People would walk by and pause to see if there was someone famous visiting. The sound of 24 cameras going off at one time is quite a funny thing.

Elevation9600

It's been a long time since my last post and I'm currently living at an elevation of 9600 in Breckenridge, CO...for at least a few more days at the Colorado Imaging Workshops. It's a photography school and SO much more than that. I'm helping out in a class being taught by Kevin Kubota. It's been only a half day of class and I'm loving every minute of it.

I flew out on Thursday and spent a few days with my dear college friend, Heather. I also went out to lunch with my cousin Evie. Saturday was the day we went "up the hill" to the mountains. What a gorgeous sight to see for a midwestern girl. (However, I would still have a hard time giving up Lake Michigan!)

It's been such an awesome time of getting to know other photographers (what a crazy bunch of people...you should see what a bunch of photographers do when they get together at a party with a camera. I'll try to post a pic later.) In addition to the fun, I'm gaining some much needed inspiration and encouragement.

It was a crazy couple weeks leading up to being gone from the family for a week. Scheduling. Laundry. Meals. Tears. Once that jet took off, there was nothing more I could do. From what I've heard from Mark and all the helpers, the kids are doing great. I talk to them every day and their voice brings me back to reality. I miss them dearly but staying busy here does help. Looking forward to getting kisses from them on Friday morning.

I'll keep you posted but I HIGHLY recommend looking into the Colorado Imaging Workshops if you can swing it. A big thanks to Kalen Henderson who suggested I look into it.

Signing off. Time for bed. (Sleep is one thing you don't get much of at the school!)
