You expressed so well what we try to put into every mentorship, D Stuart ... thank you! Folks, check out the wonderful creativity here from D Stuart's time in Alex Lapidus mentorship!

For anyone who has read this far, consider mentoring someone else here (or more) ... some people don't even know where to start with their cameras and you could be the change they need in their lives. Even the smallest bit of knowledge can be passed on and you can create your mentorship in many different ways. Imagine the feeling of taking someone to their next level, paying forward the knowledge you've received and watching someone blossom with enthusiasm and accomplishment!

For the past two months I have had the honor and good fortune to participate and assist in Alex Lapidus ’ Blurs and Unsharp Photography: Guided Play with the support of the G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers and its directors Robin Griggs Wood , Ron Clifford and Tamara Pruessner .
Along with the Maestro of Blur, Alex Lapidus were Julianne Bockius Heiko Mahr Diana Boyd Linda Villers Paul Brown Jetski Jones Nathan Beaulne Jacob Dix John Suler Gazzaroonii T. as crew.
Intentional camera movement and other modes of blur can really change how a scene is perceived and felt, and that brings as many challenges as it does options for changing how a scene is presented. ‘Comfort zone’ is not on the assignment list, and exercises are both fun and a bit of work. Working and experiencing the exercises sets the concepts, and each module we learn a little bit more. Each time something new is tried offers an opportunity for growth, adding new tools and ways of seeing on a journey with no apparent end.
There is a symbiotic, or gestalt, phenomenon in such mentorships, and it seems as if everyone teaches others at one time or another. It is a great experience and I highly recommend it to people who have the time to invest and a desire to learn. I encourage anybody with a desire to teach to contact the G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers to arrange such an experience. It will help you as much as you help others. It’s an amazing program and a wonderful movement to be a part of.
Beyond the blurry science and art, the creativity, and the skill, the core of such a mentorship is people with big hearts, and the experience is a camaraderie seldom seen. I am so glad to meet everyone who participated in the inaugural Blurs project. You are an awesome, creative, and wonderful bunch!
