| Hello everyone - this is Walter Duckworth - better known as What the Duck reporting live from Davis Love Story Workshop. Once again, I failed to blog again last night and again I blame all the other attendees for shooting late into the night. Don't they realize us ducks need at least 12 hrs of beauty sleep?!? Any ways, just when you thought a workshop couldn't get any better, the Davis team kicked it up another notch by taking us to the Schaumburg Regional Airport (I'm still trying to figure out how they pulled this off) and spent the entire afternoon shooting old war planes, helicopters, private jets and more! I can't wait to share more about it!!!
Here's Bob & Dawn at the studio explaining to us what we are doing. Everyone, including Dawn, is getting all giddy about the idea of shooting airplanes.
Woo.... check out his camera. Gotta get me one of those...Ok Walter, pay attention. I'm pretty sure Bob's going over something important...
Finally, they got me a duck-size sandwich. Yum!!! We all sat around and had lunch before the shoot. Thx to Jimmy John's for another speedy delivery!
Then we headed to the airport. I immediately became friends with this bear. I forgot his name. I'll call him Charlie.
At ease ladies... it's just me....
We get to shoot that?!? What the.... and they are landing just for us!! WOwser...
I got to play air traffic control directing the planes.... this way boys!
Talk about upclose and personal...these are the real planes from the WWI era! wow!
Got to chill with the pilot for a bit... berry niicceee ~
Look, we match!
Look at our super gorgeous models ready to rock out the session...
Here's one of the pilots talking to us about the planes...
I'm getting pretty good at this self-timer feature. Hee hee...quack, hee.. hee....
Ellie & Michael experimenting with light. Why don't you guys just ask me to model so you both can practice?!
Here's Elisa trying to be subliminally patriotic...
M M my, what have we here Bob?!?
I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United States of America....
I'm in love with our models...Woot!!!
Here's Scott having a good time with Kelly...
Waiting for Kelly's boyfriend Ben to arrive. I filled in for him until he came to join us.
Check out this angle... Berry Nicccceeee~ Bob learned this angle from me. But I actually stole this idea from our good photographer friend Kristie Blake. hee hee...
Check out the quality of light!!!
Trying out different angles and perspectives....
Naw, I much prefer getting down and low. Hanging out with Bob again - using him as my human tripod. Hold still Bob!!!
Woo.... check out this bird...
Duck to the base station...do you copy?!
Look at this stud!!!! --- Wait, that was Dawn, not me guys. This is what happens when you step away from the computer to take a potty break!!!
We got to shoot on the runway. How cool is that?!
Look at all the attendees shooting away. Man this was like a playground for photographers!!!
Here's Bob setting up the next shot. Woo, I wonder what he's going to do....
BAM!!!! Would you look at that?!
Caught these two love birds having their moment :)
I got to go for a spin on this pretty bird! Woo hoo!!!!
I'm getting tired of telling people this - folks, ducks do not know how to fly! Why do you keep doing thiiiissssssssssssssss!?!?
Ouch. I think I cracked my beak.
Ok that was fun. Can we do it again?!
Everyone is glad I'm ok. Cara doesn't like to be in front of the camera too much...
Ok back to shooting more cool planes. I love this job. :)
Getting ready for take off. Please don't drop me again...
And we're off!!!
Woo hoo, what a fun day! Taking a quick break before doing more shooting...
It was Ed Weiland's grandpa's 90th birthday. He got to celebrate in style! Good times!
That lucky chopper...
Hmm, so this is what the REALLY meant by Davis LOVE story. Berry Niccccceeee. Click, click, click, click.....
Thank you so much Bob & Dawn and everyone else for this awesome day at the airport. I can't wait to check out all the images that everyone else captured today. I am off to our last day of the workshop. It's going to be sad saying good bye to everyone.

| Hello everyone. My name is Walter, better known as What The Duck. I am currently at the Davis Love Story workshop here in Lemont, IL. I am so excited! I met Bob & Dawn last month while traveling through Italy and got to know them really well - so well that they asked me to come out to their workshop to attend & help out. I'm well-versed in online social media technology (blog, twitter, facebook, etc.) so they asked me to document my experience for the next three days. I'm so excited, I don't know even where to begin.
Disclaimer - please excuse me if I make lots of spelling and/or grammar mistakes. I just came back from Italy so I'm all confused still trying to get adjusted to the American culture.
I met Bob & Dawn at this small town called Positano.
We became instant friends and traveled to other cities together. Thanks Dawn for taking this photo of me hanging out w/ Bob.
I don't like to brag, but I took this amazing photo of them in Amalfi. They loved it so much they blew it up 10x bigger and made a canvas out of it - Thanks to Pixel2Canvas doing such a great job.
Whew, I finally made it to his house. I think I got here too early. No one is here. Oh well, I might as well help Bob set up.
Bob is setting up the photobooth that we'll be using for tonight. This is going to be so much fun. I'm in charge of it so I'll post some photos from the photobooth later.
OOo...we all get our own name badge! Where's mine?!!?
Score! I love getting free tshirts. Now I can officially say that I've been flashed by Bob & Dawn! Sweet!
Bob asked me to help adjust the camera a bit. Here I am fine tuning the exposure & white balance - almost ready for the fun shoot!
He's double checking to make sure I have everything right. That's good b/c I had no idea what I was doing in the previous photo. :)
Everyone arrived for the social mixer. Bob & Dawn are giving brief introduction about the workshop. Tonight we are going to just mingle, get to know each other and take some fun photobooth pics. I managed to set my camera on self-timer and made it down just in time for this shot. :)
Bob & Dawn took turns sharing with us what to expect at this workshop. I'm getting excited...
Their cute kids Bobby & Allie made a quick cameo appearance. Ok, back to doing homework guys...
Dawn is sharing so I better pay attention. She yells at me every time I get distracted. :)
I'm so stoked - I get to spend next three days with these wonderful folks from everywhere. We have folks from CA, TX, AL, IL & FL! Quack Quack!
Click on the photo to check out all the photos from today's photobooth shoot!!!
Ok, I gotta go back and join the party. I'll be updating frequently throughout the day tomorrow so be sure to visit back here often!!!
