A 2011 Throwback Video: Skip's Summer School

by Skip Cohen

​While I know I shared this a while back, the  3-minute video is too much fun not to share again. It was captured and created by Resource Magazine in 2011.  Unless you've been locked up in solitary confinement for the last thirteen years, you'll recognize many well-known educators and photographers.

The 2011 program was at the Mirage in Las Vegas. The last program was in 2013 in Oakbrook, just outside Chicago. These were such a kick to do, but they were labor intensive, and after five years, we decided not to continue. As many of you have learned, trying to do your own workshops, regardless of how helpful/supportive they might be, takes an incredible amount of work. 

​The fun of Throwback Thursday is in the hunt, followed by the memories that throwbacks bring back. Now, throw in social media, and while the video was created thirteen years ago, so many of us are still in touch. 

Whether you share your throwbacks or not isn't as important as taking the time for a short look in your rearview mirror. Looking back reminds you of where you've been and are going now. Most importantly, they reinforce the value of imaging! Where would the world be without our industry?

Happy Throwback Thursday!
