Coffee and Connections

This morning I am decompressing from a workshop I ran yesterday here in Wellington, New Zealand.

Top folio shots of 2012

I was hoping to squeeze this post into January. I think, with any luck, and the blessing of New Zealand’s time zone, half the world will still see it in January. Since the new year I’ve already edited 2 websites and 3 print folios. Seems like quite a few photographers out there are keen to
