For some time now I have been mentored by Damian McGillicuddy, roughly about every 6-8 weeks i tootle off down (could be up i don't know! where ever TomTom sends me) to Warington to a mentor session. The day is long, and the drive cold I always leave with my head in a spin and head off to the service for some paracetamol. Then theres the cost, even the fuel and we all know how that's risen each time we fill up!
So is it worth it?
Absolutely yes!! It is fair to say I am addicted!
The day is long and crammed full of vital information for any photographer seeking excellence, the sessions are delivered honestly and fully leaving nothing out. My head is always in a spin when i leave and yes i stop at the services about half an hour into my journey home to jot down the ideas filling my brain from the day of inspiration id just left.
What about the cost, well its an investment that repays me every time i set my lights up or press that shutter be it for my own family or a client.
I'm at the beginning of a long journey, I'm an all or nothing girl and believe me i want it all, i want the licentiate through to fellow and master regardless of how long it takes. Damian Mcgillicuddy as well as being my mentor is also a gentleman with a twisted sense of humor! and a friend.
thanks Damian
