Workshop a success - Platon Audio coming

The Eddie Adams Workshop was a great success.  I’m sure everyone came out of it having learned something very special - I know that I did.    We’re all trying to catch up on life and work - not to mention rest.   So here’s a quick article from PDN that talks about what we did there.  

 

I’ve also gotten permission to put up audio of Platon’s speech at the workshop - which is easily one of the best I’ve heard in my years at the workshop - and likely the best speech I’ve ever heard from a “celebrity” photography - although that title diminishes what the man produces - it is just a small part of what Platon does.  I and others were incredibly impressed with his wit, his intelligence - and how approachable he was.   One of my only regrets was not getting time to spend with him at the bar one night - as I was walking past to go do some portfolio reviews, I caught a glimpse of him surrounded by a few students who were soaking his wisdom in.   I have to admit to being quite jealous of those students - I sure hope they didn’t take a single second of that time with him for granted.
