Altering.
I encounter beautiful people every day but for the most part, not in person. Last week I had the joy of meeting an incredible group of gorgeous souls who’d come together for Jesh de Rox’s Life (as an Artform) workshop in Canberra. I struggle to describe those days and anyone who was there would be nodding their head in agreement. I’ve never been to another in-person workshop and I went to this one because I love Jesh’s incredibly pure and beautiful view of the World and I knew it wasn’t really going to be about taking photos.
What I didn’t know was that it would be life changing and that I would come away having made some of the most amazing friendships. That I would learn how to see more, say more, be more. How five brief days can alter perspective so dramatically, I’m not sure. But they did, and I’m so glad for it.
To Kelly – thank you for opening your beautiful home up to us. To all who were there, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. And to everyone who might ever get the chance to attend a Jesh workshop, go. If need be, beg, borrow or steal to get there. You will never regret it.

i keep hearing about this workshop and i’ve tried to go, but i still don’t understand what it is about. maybe that’s my problem. i need a concrete answer. wow, now i’m getting introspective. anyway. would love to hear more. jealous.
Jesh is a beautiful soul! I attended the Santa Barbara Workshop and I couldn’t believe how blessed I was to have experienced that. It is life changing and continues to be an amazing journey. For those who have not gone and are tinkering about it…don’t think..JUST GO! I guess my summary of it would be a life and relationship workshop spoken in the language of photography. Sheye, I wanted to share that I believe you touch so many lives with your life stories and your work. Thank you for touching my life.
Wheee! It’s ME!!! :) :) :) I will never forget that assignment with you. Ever. My new friend for life: I’m forever grateful that I got a spot to go and meet you and connect with you. I think I’m changed forever because of it. Thank you for being a part of it. xoxo
So glad that you got the chance to experience a Jesh workshop. He is such a wonderful person, a joy to be around, and definitely a life changer. Enjoy!
It really was an extraordinary week… from the very first night. Such a beautiful group of people (us included, :)!) I love your photos of Christine — and you said you didn’t do midday sun! Look at you go girl :) xoxo
Your model, Christine is stunningly beautiful.
Each day, I look forward to reading Jesh’s staus updates on Facebook – he sounds like an incredible, intelligent, soulful and sensitive being. I would so love to meet him one day.
How do you say goodbye to such a person, such an experience, it sounds so magical Sheye xxx
I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now, and am always blown away by your beautiful pictures, but today you really got me. These pictures are flawless, remarkable, and wonderful. you both should be proud.
I am soo happy to read you had a wonderful time, I still don’t know why I wasn’t meant to be there, the planets just didn’t align for me this time. Now you can understand what I was saying to you about not being able to describe my experience from last year as it truly was beyond words. Hugs, your friend Kristin xxx
I kinda think a Sheye Rosemeyer workshop would be just as life altering (hint hint). Lovely photos Sheye, thank you so much for sharing a glimpse with us. Marsha xx
Gorgeousness!
If I didn’t study at University, I would be on my way to Australia just to go visit the workshop. It would be a lifetime experience for me. =] That Asian lady looks so beautiful.
I totally agree with Mrasha…maybe in 2011?? I love, love love the processing here. How can a photp be so sharp, yet so soft?? And midday sun? You amaze me…
I saw Christine’s images of you, Sheye and they are just so stunning and soulful (as are yours of Christine). I’ve had my name down for a little while to meet Jesh (ooops I mean do his workshop :P) … his images speak. to. me :) Your endorsement has left me wanting the workshop even more. I totally agree with Marsha though, bring on the Sheye Workshop (in real life). Workshops with “feeling” have such appeal – well to me. Thanks for sharing!
So nice to hear :) Christine, you’re so beautiful! Great shots Sheye…xox to you both!
OMG, Sheye, you met Christine. I met Christine about a month ago for another workshop. Beautiful image, Sheye. Love it as always ;)
Oh, I’m Cicilia from the explore group ;)
