Joe Buissink - Humble & Admired

My last class for today was conducted by Joe Buissink. He was speaking with a 40 degree fever. And the stories he told today was how he started and wht keeps him going. His life and his passion. He success and his missions.

All these stories made my admiration and respect for him grew a million times more. He dedicated 3 yrs of his time a day of a week to capturing the lives of families of autism kids. As he has 2 of his own that sadly is suffering from autism too... He just compiled a book of all those photos and it now the 4th best selling photo book online.

Joe is very humble and because of this I respect him a lot. He reaches out to you with his heart and truly cares for you even talking to a crowd of about a thousand people. You can feel that he cares. His photos are absolutely amazing. There he was explaining a 6 photo series and there I was choking holding back my tears. Those are the kind of photos that I want to capture!!!

Overall this has bee the most fruitful trip that I've been to anywhere in my entire life. I would like to give God my Abba Daddy all the Glory and Honor for without His blessing I will not be here where I am today.... Thank you Jesus : )

Yervant & Joe Buissink - The Masters

Thank you Canon!!! How many times will someone be able to catch 3 masters at work at the same time on the same stage teaching all that they know to you? Only here in Las Vegas at the 2008 WPPI annual tradeshow and convention. Here the secrets and methods they use to get the amazing mind blowing images that you seen on their web sites. The ones that hit the magazines! There's so much to learn. And Joe puts it very well, in his words " I don't want to be there, I want to keep learning and trying to improve myself ..." Imagine even Joe doesn't want to be there how much more should I yearn to sought after improvement...



Joe shooting a model couple with just a modeling light at ASA 1600 and a 5D on 'P' mode. Let me specify the 'P' mode on his camera stands for Porfessional... Hahaha... And 'M' stands for Master : )

So happened that a real couple was have a function in the hotel of the convention and Yervant managed to bumped into them. He invited them on stage to be subjects. How cool can that be!?! To be photographed by the world top 2 respected photographers for FREE!!!! Wish I was the couple...
