Hannah Nicole - All I can say is legit.

the DON’T GIVE UP project – REGISTRATION OPEN

Monday, May 7, 2012

We are honored, thrilled, stoked, giddy – to announce the DON’T GIVE UP project is happening August 7-9 of 2012. Registration is now open!

The DON’T GIVE UP project is one part photography workshop, one part retreat, and one part amazing experience. Everything that we put into the three days that we share in Colorado is designed to build community amongst all attendees; offer encouragement, support and instruction; and develop a deeper passion in all of us to make images that matter.

The DON’T GIVE UP project is not:

- A workshop where you come to simply learn how we do it. We will not teach you the one “right way”. We will not sell you products or try to make you our clones. :)
- A workshop where you sit on the sidelines and watch us create. You create also – every step of the way.

The DON’T GIVE UP project is:

- A photography workshop focusing in on the heart of making images that matter.
- A three day, 2 night stay at a cabin outside of Divide, CO. What does this mean? Shooting, conversation, fresh air, starry skies, thunderstorms, open fields, neighboring llamas, aspen trees, chilly mornings, food made fresh by a private chef, campfires, laughter, tears, new relationships, sharing stories of heartache and redemption — all pointing us toward the pursuit of making images for people that have great depth.
And the food really matters to us! So we bring our dear friends – Jessi and Dave (private chefs in Kansas City). And they make some of the most mind bendingly delicious vegetarian cuisine you will ever experience. Staunch meat eaters have left raving about the menu.
there are some experiences in life that are just too wonderful for words. this is one of those, and we hope you can come experience it for yourself.

The DON’T GIVE UP project costs:

$1500 covers all meals, drinks, and lodging for the duration of the workshop (3PM Tuesday – 12PM Thursday), materials and transportation to/from the airport in Colorado Springs, CO.

The DON’T GIVE UP project is limited to:

15 total guests. Friends, we would love to host you there!

Register by clicking the paypal button below. You can pay 100% up front, or 50% now and 50% one month prior to the workshop.

Payment options

WE CANNOT WAIT TO MEET YOU AND SHARE ADVENTURES TOGETHER!!

Keaton Webb - I'm only 16 at the moment, but definitely in a few years if you're still having it. It's a dream of mine to meet you two and your beautiful family. :) Have the best time! Can't wait to see the photos from it!

stephanie - I emailed you a while ago and I've been waiting for this....working on it :) I hope my three children will forgive me a personal indulgence.

Maryanne Gobble Photography - Ahhh! That top image. Your imagery makes my heart pitter patter. You two certainly possess that elusive *something* that is missing in the bulk of other photos out there. I"m anchored at home this season but have fun at your workshop!

tara polly - it's like this was tailor made for me. a couple of my favorite photographers teaching in my state with a gourmet vegetarian chef? i'm almost in tears! SO wish i had the funds at the moment. have the very best time! xo.

sharon - incredible images, looks like such an amazing experience!

Ever since hearing emmet gowin speak, my life has been a bit transformed. Not only because I believe him to be one of the most incredible photographers alive, but also because he has opened my eyes to see my world differently. He opened our eyes to the reality that life we are living and the things we are seeing are extraordinary, they are as exotic and strange as papua new guinea.

And so, for the brothers spring break, we decided to explore our papua new guinea a little further, and were thrilled to have fellow explorers and dear friends nate, jaclyn, grace, and ever adorable, mostly pantless, jasper :) aka, the kaisers, along for the ride. These are some of our adventures in the city, the country, our little 100 year old urban farmhouse and around the big table. Exotic and strange, indeed.

and much thanks to nate for taking these last two for our family. :)

happy monday, friends!
