UPDATE ON MENTORSHIPS WITH MICHAEL ONEILL

Let me start by thanking all of you for your interest in the post on The Pro Spot offering mentorships here in New York. I received more than 100 emails from around the world in response to that offer. I was overwhelmed that some of you pledged to come from as far away as California, Canada and The United Kingdom for the opportunity to study with me. I am truly honored.

I must also apologize. As much as I would love to work with all of you I will be unable to accommodate everyone. I will only be photographing about 45 weddings in 2010. I have read all of your emails and visited each and every one of your web sites. I was truly impressed by the quality of the photography I viewed, again feeling honored that you think enough of my artistry to make the commitment to come to New York to study with me. I have decided that the only right thing for me to do is choose my pupils randomly so that no one feels that they were not chosen because of any shortcomings. That is not the case. I will be collaborating and sharing with photographers on all levels.

I will be contacting all of you within the next two weeks. I will be arriving this Friday afternoon in Las Vegas for WPPI 2010. Those of you that are attending should look me up when you are there. I will be tied up all day Saturday and Sunday judging the Accolades of Excellence 16 X 20 Print Competition.  I’ll be on the “Wedding 2″ judging panel in room 302 of the conference center. (Read more about that here).  Stop by and say “Hello” or look for me at many of the events, platform programs or on the trade show floor. I would love to meet each and every one of you in person.

Thanks again for all of your enthusiasm. I look forward to sharing with you.
