ProPhotoTours.com - Side-by-Side, Start-to-Finish Photographic Workshops
Last week I took the easy way out and sent you to BestSexBloggers.com. This week I did my homework! I included blogs that aren’t on BestSexBloggers.com. Of course I’ll start with a synopsis of our own blogs. We haven’t been writing as much of our own content - this week we became the marketing department for Fetlife.com. If you haven’t checked out Fetlife yet, what are you waiting for? It’s the best social networking site for kinky people just like you!
This week’s Week In Kink is brought to you by the caffeine and nicotine keeping me awake to write it.

If you recall, I posted on Catalina Says a while back the Pro Photo Tours had announced their plans to tour the country, offering their unique style of photographic workshops. They take the advanced amateur and working professional photographer through every step of a shoot, from hair and make-up to lighting to working with models to shooting and post-production. The result of the workshop will be a fine art coffee table book that represents the participants’ body of work.
You already know Lochai, because he’s all I seem to talk about some days, but maybe you don’t know Bobby Knight as well… though I bet you’ve seen his work all over! Bobby Knight is a successful commercial & stock photographer and cinematographer who currently has over 75,000 images and 350 hours of visual stock content in circulation in the past eight years. His enjoyment in creating avant-garde media is apparent in his successes and cutting edge style. He has a creative mind that likes to push boundaries not only in media production using technology whenever possible to give his client that edge they seek. His work is, edgy, sometimes erotic and different than the norm. You can find his work from cell phones to major publications (AVP, Revolver, Chopper, AVN), the internet, and television.
This weekend (August 8-10) is the first weekend you have a chance to work with Bobby Knight of Knight Digital Photography and Lochai (yes, that Lochai!).
Because of technical difficulties (grrrrrrrrrrr code!) they were not able to register participants earlier and still have available openings. If you have the weekend free and you can be in Tampa, Catalina Says Do It! Contact Bobby Knight or Lochai directly to register for this weekend, to avoid said technical difficulties with the website.
Go to the ProPhotoTours.com website for more information and also to check out other dates and cities where you can work with these Master Photographers!

I am one of those rare lucky people who have to work 7 days a week. Not because I work for the man, but because I work for myself. Since I work pretty much every day, and pretty much all day every day, it’s a good thing that my definition of work includes chatting with Sabrina Fox, Priapus, and Lochai and writing interviews for Claire Adams, Sgt. Major, and Bobby Knight (ProPhotoTours.com).
Today is Lochai’s opening night at the WEAM. It’s pretty exciting, and I wish I could be there to see it for myself. I still can’t believe I am a genuine part of making that happen. The best I can hope for is that he will call me when he gets home, even if it’s late, and tell me all about it. I lucked out and got to talk with both Lochai and his amazing bride, Janice. She’s so amazing, I can’t help but adore her every bit as much as I do him.
I spent the majority of my day working on the Week in Kink and The Good Things List. Both were late, but I noticed that the world did not fall apart. I’ll take note of that the next time I have terrible anxiety about not getting them done on time. I openly kissed Graydancer’s ass in The Good Things List, because it was a deal we made on Twitter to get him on board with the bestsexbloggers.com project. This wasn’t exactly our deal, just that I was willing to kiss his ass to make it happen, and this is the only way I know how from a distance.
I didn’t work all that much this weekend, actually - it was one of the first weekends I truly set out to socialize. Not all of my plans worked out. Friday I had a new workout - sprints with abs and triceps. The Dude has decided that it’s time for me to step it up and … I can’t really disagree. I’ve been running, but now it’s time for toning. I came home from an intense workout and managed to go out for wine and sushi with M on Friday night and somehow three glasses of wine fucked me up. Must have been because I was so tired. I don’t know. We normally eat out every Friday night, but he’s training for the NY Marathon and I’m still trying to lose weight, so sushi and liquid calories seemed more appropriate. He had a bad week and so W baked a cake or him — I know, seems counter intuitive to give a marathon runner in training a cake, but he had to run 14 miles this weekend and the carb/sugar load helped him make it through and it cheered him up, so it served it’s purpose doubly.
Saturday I was all set to go out with The Dude for an evening of inebriation, his not mine. He flaked out on me. It worked out in my favor. I fell asleep at something like 6 pm and didn’t wake up until about 11 pm, when I sat up long enough to say goodnight to Marky and went back to sleep until 9 am today. Apparently I needed a good night’s sleep.
Now here we are again, the middle of the night - time for me to wrap it up and go to bed. I’m frustrated as hell because I can’t get images on the static pages on bestsexbloggers.com and it better not be a template issue. If it is, I’m lucky that JC will come to my rescue and fix it.
No graceful way out of this blog post - I’m just tired and it’s time to end. Goodnight, people… Oh and FetLife rocks. It is 3:46 am. Buenas noches.

Pro Photo Tours has announced new monthly tour dates beginning August 8-10th in Tampa, FL. Bobby Knight, David Lawrence, and Lochai are three professional photographers, each well known and respected within their specialty, who work together to provide workshops that were crafted specifically to meet the needs of advanced amateurs and working professional photographers.
Join master photographers in their fields of glamour, fetish, and fine art erotic photography to learn how to Shoot for the Walls and not just your computer screen. Anyone can take a pretty picture; it takes skill to produce an image that is good enough to hang on a gallery wall. This three day intensive weekend provides the knowledge base to capture and produce images that art collectors will want to hang in their homes, not just view on their monitors.
Pro Photo Tours teaches you to create the setting with stylists, rope artists, and other artistic props. You will learn how to work with models, professional and amateur, from both an artistic and business angle. You will learn their lighting set ups for the dramatic and mysterious, and give you the secrets for capturing an emotion and story in just one image. To finish the workshop you will learn their post production techniques to make it a keeper.
The resulting fine art collaborations will be published in a limited edition coffee table book, in which each participant will be represented.
This intimate workshop is hands-on, side-by-side, learning the recipe for award winning art from the chefs themselves. Visit ProPhotoTours.com to see when they will be visiting a city near you. (http://prophototours.com)
