PLUS post!
This rusty pile of chains that I photographed last summer on the docks in a little harbour town in Maine seemed perfect to symbolize the material we learned in this first week of the "Travel on a Photographer's Budget" mentorship. The mentor for this is +David Zipprich and he is sharing with us his knowledge on how to travel the world on less than a shoestring – that is "a photographer's budget". How many times have we all had to stop dreaming of travelling to a special destination as soon as we took a look at the cost of transport? The chains of 'money' held us back. I know I am not alone in this. This week, however, David smashed those particular chains for us and showed us how we could get to our dream destination for a fraction of what we thought it might cost. His tips are unbelievable and his ready assistance when we have questions goes beyond the call of duty.
This is only the first week of the 7 week mentorship and I know that I am not alone in beginning to realize that what I saw as 'dreams' are actually achievable. The week of 'travel' is over! Now on to the next stage of the planning. I can't wait.
My posts are all on my blog: www.elliekennard.ca .
This program is part of the +G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers program.

Ah well, it's one of those things over which I just say…whelp, can't do everything! Sounds like you're enjoying it though, +Ellie Kennard so that's a good thing.
I am continuing the mentorship, but no more plus posts +Sandra Nesbit – it's not really that kind of mentorship. I don't know if David will repeat it. There are lots of mentorships that people are doing so that they then are prepared to be able to be on Arcanum as masters. So this is just their kind of testing ground. So as to whether he would do this again, I don't know. It would be great as there is a lot to be learned, of course and it is useful for anyone on a budget, really.
Well, I am glad you Plus Posted, +Ellie Kennard . I didn't have time this time around, but it will be good info to have if the mentorship is repeated. Hope you will continue???
I guess it's not the kind of mentorship where Plus Posts are the thing. (I was the only person who posted one). It's very interesting and I learned so many tips. Thanks +Heiko Mahr and +Sandra Nesbit
Agreeing with Heiko…100%
Reads like a very interesting mentorship. I'm already curious about the next plus posts +Ellie Kennard

Great theme Ellie sometime we do feel chained in our ability to achieve our goals, I am glad it is working out for you
You are more than welcome +David Zipprich – really, you have made a big difference to the way many of us approach our travel.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm just glad I can help. After a decade on the road with no stable income, it's very gratifying that I picked things up that I can share. 🙂
+Gary Posner thanks very much. I'm glad you like it. The mentorship is very eye opening, so far.
