UPDATE: THE DON’T GIVE UP PROJECT IS SOLD OUT. PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH OR EMAIL US TO BE ON OUR MAILING LIST FOR THE NEXT ONE AT hello@wearetheparsons.com.

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