Davis Love Story Workshop - Official Coverage by Walter (a.k.a. What The Duck)

 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!

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!!!
