I\u2019ve always looked at my position as one that I -get- to do. I have always been excited to share with you things\u00a0I\u2019ve learned and believe will take your love of this art further. To that, there have always been topics and ideas that I think essential &#8211; that I really didn\u2019t have an opportunity to cover in a way I believe will \u201cstick\u201d. How do I stay away from showing you unnecessary scenarios or shooting conditions that only .01% of photographers would ever attempt and instead focus on bringing you the things that will really bring movement to your craft &#8211; and make it so that it\u2019s affordable to everyone?<\/p>\n<h3>Learn With Us At First Shot School<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lGFPE67vLGo?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m excited to announce that I have started a new online training school called <a href=\"http:\/\/firstshotschool.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">First Shot School<\/a>.\u00a0I will be directing the content and education on the new site which will include classes, tips, ideas, podcasts, and content that will help you creatively.

We thought these three things would be important to form what we do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The education we bring must <strong>solve problems<\/strong> and <strong>bring inspiration<\/strong> that you can immediately put to use.<\/li>\n<li>We must work with our partners to produce third party content that <strong>educates<\/strong> and <strong>informs<\/strong>. Our job is to show -how- technology can be useful in what we do &#8211; and we do that through <strong>education<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>We need to be focused on <strong>not wasting your time<\/strong>. Each tip, blog post, course or package needs to be educationally dense. Your time is valuable and we\u2019re grateful you spend it here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It has been a crazy couple of months getting everything ready over here, and I\u2019m excited to say that it\u2019s on a roll. The studio is up and running and we\u2019re buzzing through content that we can\u2019t wait to share with you!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll probably go back to posting random coffee machine rants, odd projects that come to me in the middle of the night, and random musings here.
