->> This workshop should not be missed! It really opened doors for me to freelance with one of the biggest papers in Canada when one of their editors was watching over my shoulder during a portfolio review ... which led to another national paper ... which led to other regional papers across the country ... well you get the picture. The reviews alone are worth going for. Let's call it a one-stop-shop to show your portfolio around.
And then there are the high-calibre speakers, which last year included SS.com member Donald Miralle (hope you're getting good use out of that touque in sunny So Cal)
Of course, great education and a little fun with fellow photographers knows no borders, so for all our neighbours to the south, the invitation is extended to you (just don't forget your touque, eh!) |

->> This is a great workshop! I sent my registration form away this week. For Canadian photojournalists it is a must go. For our American cousins it is a great opportunity to meet a lot of incredible shooters and learn from some excellent international speakers. As Dave pointed out it is not that far for those in the Northeast.
Hope to see you all there!

| ->> Alright I'm convinced to sign up... quick question though. If I am a university student but I'm taking Business and not photography, do I fall under the student category? And if I'm a student but not a member of the ECNPA, I still pay student dues correct? |

->> Hey Mike, when I was studying at Western I signed up as a student for the GWNW and as a student member in the ECNPA and there were no problems. I think Geoff can confirm he did the same when he was at UWO. Good call on deciding to come, its going to be a great weekend.
See you there,

->> “This was an incredibly inspiring atmosphere and I felt like I got just as much out of the experience as everyone who attended. Bravo!” -Ami Vitale; Magazine Photographer of the Year, National Press Photographer’s Association http://www.amivitale.com
“The GWNW workshop is a must-attend opportunity to meet, learn from, and Network with some of the best photographers and editors north (and south) of the border. Inside tips on photojournalism, portraiture, digital workflow, book publishing, freelancing, and more, and you can get your portfolio critiqued too! I had a blast last year participating in it, and know anyone who enrolls in it this year will too.” -Donald Miralle; Getty Images; Sportsshooter Photographer of the Year; Getty Images Photographer of the Year http://www.donaldmiralle.com
“No matter what you think of Toronto the GWNW is defiantly worth attending. Don’t miss out on this year’s experience where education and pleasure mix so well together.” -John Lehmann, The Globe and Mail; http://www.lehmann.ca
“Before the GWNW I was never considered, esteemed, but now people want to interview me.” -Carlo Allegri, Getty Images
“My experience at the GWNW was a great opportunity to share some of my work and be inspired by the photographers in attendance.” -Ron Haviv VII photo agency, http://www.VIIphoto.com
"Without exception, every-time I've attended an ECNPA or GWNW event, I learn something new and practical that I can use. I leave pumped up, inspired and energized; anxious to get back to what I love to do; illuminate a story or issue through photography." Steve Simon; New York based documentary photographer http://www.stevesimonphoto.com
"Whether climbing the learning curve or recharging the batteries, the GWNW is a two-day photographic revival meeting.. and a must for the fresh faced and grizzled alike..... " -Andy Clark, Reuters |
