I just witnessed something unbelievable. I’m not even sure if I should blog about it but I think the whole world needs to know what just happened. We all know that Mike Colón’s Experience Workshop has made an impact on so many photographers. We just finished with his 8th workshop and this one was no different. But for one person, that impact will last for lifetime…literally.
Disclaimer: What you are about to witness was not, in any way, condoned by Mike Colón. It was voluntarily done by one of his workshop attendees, Phillip Glickman from Envisionography.
Synopsis: During the second day of our workshop, one of the attendees, Nathan, noticed that Mike had his logo branded on his belt. Mike explained to us that he has a branding iron made of his logo. Phillip told us that he also has a brand of the Christian fish on his left thigh. He then told us that he would brand Mike’s logo on his other leg if someone dared him. Obviously no one took him seriously. So we thought…
On the last night of our workshop, Phillip decided to put his money where his mouth is and decided to BRAND Mike’s logo on his thigh. I’ll let the photos tell you the rest of the story…
It was so hot that we actually heard the skin ‘pop’ and smelled the burning flesh!
Mike is speechless…
& shocked…
Mike is still shocked…
The close-up (can you see the hair and the melted flesh?)
The final result:
This takes marketing to a whole new level. Not even [b]ecker can beat this branding!
Finally, thanks everyone for your prayers. It has helped me to overcome my temptation of switching to nikon.
I will post more from the workshop tomorrow.
