Grandfather Mountain Camera Clinic

Jay Maisel, Bernie Boston, Hugh Morton and George Tames.  Four famous photographers in my book. I took this at the Southern Short Course in the 1980s.
In 1984 I graduated from East Carolina University and then went to work as a staff photographer for the Hickory Daily Record.  That year I would also go up to Grandfather Mountain for the Camera Clinic hosted by the mountain's owner Hugh Morton.

Hugh Morton was a photographer who enjoyed hosting this event each year for photographers.

This August 17 - 18, 2013 I am one of the guest speakers at the Camera Clinic.  You can register for the event starting on July 15th.

Here is a link to the event: http://www.grandfather.com/events/grandfather-mountain-camera-clinic/

I will be talking about the business side of photography.

This is where I first met Bill Fortney. Never know who else you might meet at events like this if you don't attend. If you are able to come I hope to see you there.
