I just returned home from the WPPI
Photography Conference and my head is spinning. So many ideas, so much
to do - I don't even know where to begin.
The experience was mind blowing for me - not only did I get a full day of learning from two photographers I greatly admire - Amelia and Justin Lyon - but I also had four full days of workshops (two led by the talented Jory Cordy, Fred Egan and Lara Casey) and trade show mayhem as photographers scrambled to try out all of the new Canon gear and "ooohing" and "ahhhhing" over all the album companies.
One big moment for me was when I heard Elizabeth Messina speak. She didn't talk about the technical stuff behind how to make a good photograph, she talked about being an artist - how to grab your passion and truly be authentic and truly you through all of your photographs. So I have a new goal for myself this year - be me...and figure out exactly what that means.
Here are a couple snippets of my days...they are all a blur of talking, talking, taking pictures and more talking...
*thank you to Margaret for taking this pic of me!
