Multimedia in India!

I am excited to announce that I have been added as a multimedia instructor to the Momenta Workshops India trip in January 2011.

I’m thrilled to once again be joining the talented, hard-working folks at Momenta to help people learn all about recording audio and adding it to their still images for more impact, as well as shooting and editing video.

It’s sure to be an amazing trip, as we’ll be working with NGOs in country. Each trip participant will actually get to produce work for an individually assigned NGO/non-profit, getting access to some incredible work that is being done in one of the poorest nations in the world. What an amazing experience!

There are still slots available, and people can sign up here.

I hope I’ll see you in India!

EU contract begins!

Well, folks, we officially started working for the European Union Delegation to the United States yesterday.

It was a long day of shooting, starting with a 9 a.m. official portrait of the Head of Delegation, followed by his official welcome video. Then it was on to interior pics of the offices as well as photos from a working lunch. Whew!

Looks like they’ll probably start doing a regular weekly video address starting in September. Check their website soon for some of our stuff!

I am proud to announce that as of Tuesday, July 6, 2010 I am now a partner in Momenta Creative, a creative services company that will include still photography, videography, print and web design.

I have partnered up with Jamie Rose and John C. Anderson, founders and co-owners of Momenta Workshops, to start this business, and we’re teaming up with really talented people. We’ll be providing services both to corporations, non-profits and government organizations as well as private clients.

Stay tuned for more details as they unfold!

Deep in the heart of FCP

This week I am taking time off from freelancing and researching and working on writing a business plan for my new venture (more on that later) to sink my teeth into learning Final Cut Pro. I’ve used the video editing software for the past few years while producing feature and documentary video pieces for The Washington Times, but until now my only real training in it was a couple of days at the Platypus Workshop, where they told us that “Final Cut Pro is such a complex piece of software that it makes Photoshop look like a Word document.”

So all this week I can be found sitting in Training Room A at Future Media Concepts in the Farragut corridor of the city.

My goal, after completing the course, is to sit for (and hopefully pass) the Apple Pro Certification Level 1 so that I will officially be an Apple Certified Pro in Final Cut Pro.

Two days in and I’ve already almost completely filled my notepad with notes. Yikes!

Vietnam in 2011!

I am pleased to announce that I will be leading the Momenta Workshops Vietnam workshop in 2011. We will be exploring the Mekong Delta region and focusing on creating a travel narrative.

My husband and I traveled to Vietnam in 2008 and fell in love with the Delta region. The quiet, sleepy life along the river, still traveled in many cases by single-rower longboats, juxtaposes with the constant whir of Saigon, where the motorbike is king.

I’m excited to help aspiring photographers learn how to move beyond taking snapshots as we delve into life along the Mekong.
