I am putting on a multimedia storytelling workshop in Chiapas, Mexico, with Cafe Justo’s coffee growers from January 9th – 16th, 2016.

I hope you consider joining me and learning how to tell a story by doing all the processes yourself with the guidance of James Dockery and myself.

Here is James working in one of the edit suites at ESPN. [Nikon D750, AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, ISO 12800, ƒ/7.1, 1/30]

James Dockery, ESPN Video Editor | James works as a lead video editor for ESPN and operates his own business in Charlotte, NC, where he is a photographer/ videographer. James has been a photographer for over 30 years and a videographer for over 20 years.

Here is James’ website for his photography business outside of ESPN http://www.jamesdockery.com.

While James, as you can see, is well qualified to teach the subject, the main reason I have partnered with him is his personality. James is such an optimist and a person who has a lot of energy and is interesting to be with. The students feel James’ passion for teaching as he spends time with each person being sure they are getting what they need to complete their projects.

Here James is working with a student going over her project. [Nikon D750, Nikon 85mm ƒ/1.8G, ISO 500, ƒ/1.8, 1/100]

James loves pastries, making the best of friends with the workers at the local coffee and pastry shop on our trip to Lisbon together. [Nikon D4, 14-24mm, ISO 4500, ƒ/8, 1/100]

James and I enjoy sharing our experiences with workshop participants. We discovered getting each person as much hands-on time doing a project and walking alongside them as they work much better than a lot of lecture time.
