The Anti-WPPI
That’s what Michael Howard is calling the MUSEA GATHERING. No rockstars, just mad-righteous education supporting the goal of a healthier industry. This is a good-ole, grassroots crowd-funded convention that you probably want to be a part of. It will run Feb 4-8 2013. I’m proud to be a part of this, no BS. You know of Michael from his blog/online system MUSEA and you might remember him from Episode 2 of our podcast. I like Michael’s outlook on the industry and the instinct to be proactively helpful in supporting art and charity as a marketing tactic. Smart business you can align behind. This gathering is a step in that direction.
These people are speaking -
- Samm Blake and Dan O’Day
- Fer Juaristi
- Jen Huang
- Kirk Mastin
- John Dolan and Holger Thoss
- Todd Reichman
- Ozzy Garcia
- Dave Jackson
- Spencer Lum
We’ll all be at the opening night celebration, we’ll all be presenting programs on day 2, and we’ll all be teaching intensive workshops in the days following. I’m proud to be a part of this, since it is the kind of thing we don’t have enough of – ditching the rockstar mentality and talking about the nuts and bolts of photography.

Do me a favor and check out that link. Read about the goal and the ideal behind it. The crowdfunding campaign starts July 9th and I’ll post full details and links when it goes live. I think you’ll want to attend – I’ll be there waving the flag in Nashville.
