The FIX

Today is the day.  It's finally here.  THE FIX.

I played around for a few days on whether to buy a ticket.  Why?  Because the closest location was 5 hrs away!!!  For a one day conference to drive 10 hrs sounded crazy.  I took the dive, bought the ticket and thought if nothing else the experience would be good to blog about.  




I am so glad I did.  For the past two years fully trying my hand at photography, it has been more than lonely.  For the most part when I reached out to photographers I lost fingers along the way.  I knew of no photographers in my area and knew nothing about the HUGE online community that I know of now.  Today, for the first time I will get to meet hundreds of other photographers that are are in the same boat as me.  Some at the front and some at my side but all here:

wanting to LEARN


                                                                          GROW


                                  be TOGETHER

Today I will meet those who have given me encouragement.  Today I meet those who I do not know but struggle as I struggle.  Today I learn how to better my art, my business and my love.  Today I meet an amazing photographer: Jasmine Star.  Even if I only get to say two words I know what they will be: THANK YOU!

If for nothing else for this opportunity to meet with other photographers but for so much more.



Today, I start a new and hope to make life long friends in the process.

Today I drive a long time... : P
