at the podium

about 3 months ago members of the ocean pines camera club came to eat at the restaurant and asked me to come speak at one of their meetings. I said sure, but didn't really think anything would come of it until about a month ago when a member emailed me to confirm. well last night was their meeting and I was terrified! public speaking is... shall we say a small phobia of mine, but it was so cool. it surprised me how I can forget why I love photography so much - what turned me on to it to begin with. by sharing my story and the things I've learned along the way, I rediscover why photography is such a huge part of my life and how it has been for over 20 years. I'd like to thank the camera club for helping me to creatively kickstart myself and realize how lucky I am that I get to take photos everyday.
