Texas School

Our 2024 Texas School class will be a wonderful experience for us all. Plan to meet new people, learn new things, and have a lot of fun.

What To Bring

Come with no preconceived notion of what you think you will learn this year, rather bring an open mind and be open to thinking differently, trying things you might not think will work, and trying things you might feel beneath your level of expertise. We find that our students who reach back a little have an easier time reaching forward. And of course, we will reach forward.
Bring with you three questions you want to be answered. Write them down if you want or give them to me during introductions. We’ll get them answered.

Now, what about practical things…
Bring your camera(s) of choice and lenses you use most often.
Bring a laptop if you have one and a card reader, as you will probably want to move some files around that you shoot that week.
Bring a sweater. Our classroom is a portion of a divided ballroom. The thermostat swings between Equatorial Rainforest and Siberian Tundra. Lamenting our fate does no good. Instead, adapt and flourish.
Our classroom does not have a lot of power outlets. What we do have will be mostly filled with our projector, computers, and lights. Plan on running on battery power. If you need power, bring an extension cord. We will try to have a table with some outlets so you can charge up your phone or computer.

What Not To Bring

You do not need to bring lighting equipment - we will use Profoto lights in the room and should be well-stocked. But do bring your camera, lenses, etc.
Coffee Maker or other appliances. The hotel has asked that no coffee makers or other appliances are used in any of the meeting rooms. We do respect their wishes.
