September Seminar 2000, Newport  


How many photographers does it take to do a beach portrait? This summer at Newport, the answer was about 150. Great weather, great speakers, and a great group made it a great seminar!


The photo swap meet gave everyone a chance
to buy each others props and equipment. Now, Dan and Michael's portraits will look like Ben's.

Lots of sun, a little wind, and a round of tropical drinks kicks off Sunday's beach party buffet.


It was fun and games at the beach party. 
"And the winner of a night with Ben Vallejos is....Judi Vallejos!"


Late afternoon Sunday, it was down to the beach to learn beach portrait techniques with wall portrait guru Ken Whitmire.
