Hello to All!

Announcing a special deal for this last call! It’s only two weeks (a little less by the time you get this), so it’s reconsider, and decision time!

Many of you have registered, but for those who haven’t, most really want to attend.  It’s just that money is tight, and time is scarce (we’re busy keeping our heads above water).

Well guess what!  We’ve got some space left.  Let’s get together on this.  The only real thing we have to offer our clients is experience and talent.  Together, let’s invest a little into gaining more of that!  None of the other investments (cameras and computers) mean any thing without experience and talent.  That really is all they are buying from us!

Here’s the deal . . .  At the Wall Portrait Conference, we dispense experience and talent.  You will feel like you just attended a couple of quarters at a university.  Really! . . . . .Guaranteed.  So, the deal is:  Everybody take the 5% (as if you registered 2 months ago), and  . . . further . . . if money is too tight right now, telephone us and let’s talk about the possibility of registering with about 1/2 up front and the balance spread out a few months into the fall season!

After all, we’re in this together, and the way out is through experience and talent.  This is where we can get together and experience it.

It’s late but you can do it, . . .  and this deal is too good to pass up.  Phone us:  509-248-6700.  We have ordered your food and planned your experience and talent!  It’s all right here waiting for you.  It’s called “Success at what I really want to do!”

Till Your Phone Call . . .      Ken Whitmire and The Conference Staff

Yervant and Buissinck, Two-Views

April 25, 2008

International minds come together for this outstanding presentation for our Seattle audience!

Yervant is from Australia, he is esteemed as one of the most influential photographers of the last decade with his avant-garde approach to what is typically a traditional industry, Yervant’s images are now renowned for their signature mode.

Joe Buissink photographs weddings all over the world. Joe’s photography is about capturing the moments, and the essence of the person in those moments. His work redefines wedding photography, and has been described as Fine Art by his most notable celebrity clients.

Together they came up with the ‘Two Views’ seminar program some months ago while discussing their individual approach, expectations, results etc, when it hit that while they really are so different and yet so alike in many ways, on the spot decided that two different opinions and approaches would make a very interesting program for photographers. Photographers from all walks of the business and all levels will get the best of their individual approach and images.

$199. The Westin Seattle, 1900 Fifth Ave, Seattle, WA 98101    The seminar will feature Joe & Yervant’s latest imagery, business acumen; spend time discussing the future of the Photography business and much more!
