Passion

Posted by Mandy Provan (Johannesburg, South Africa) on 12 March 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

I had the most awesome opportunity this weekend to take pictures at the Mark Schulman "The Attitude of Success" Drum Clinic in Jhb. His Jhb Drum Clinic's were sponsored by SADrummer.com and what an AWESOME time we had!!!

Mark is a cancer survivor and uses his seminars to motivate and inspire young drummers, and anyone really, to be the best they can be. He is such an awesome guy and I was blown away at what a humble guy he is! You can check out his website here: www.markschulman.net and read about this talented man and the great work he is doing with youngsters the world over.

A bit of background on Mark: He just finished touring with Pink. He has played with big names like Foreigner, Richard Marx, Billy Idol, Cher, Tina Turner, Simple Minds, Velvet Revolver, Destiny's Child and Sheryl Crow.

I hope you like the next little series I have put together of some of the shots from Saturday's gig. It was a first for me - as you all know kids and families are my specialities so this was a BRILLIANT chance for me to try something new - and I had so much fun!!!

Mark plays the drums with so much passion - it comes through in the facial expressions he pulls - the funnier the face the better his playing!!! :)

We will be away for the next 3 weeks or so, I hope you enjoy the remainder of the Christmas images I have posted. I look forward to seeing all of your blogs when I return!! MERRY Christmas everyone. May God Bless you all!

I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued visits and comments on my Blog throughout the year. Although things have been extremely hectic here over the past few months and I haven't always had the time to visit your blogs, I have read all of your comments and really do appreciate your encouragement and constructive remarks.

I hope that as 2009 draws to a close and we usher in 2010, you and your families will have a wonderful Christmas season. May you be Blessed and may we all remember that Christmas is about more than just presents and good food. That Jesus is the real reason for the season!
