Recently, I was chosen to be the photographer for a 2-day seminar in NYC. It was the usual town hall/meet the press type forum. But what was unusual about this event is that one of the guest speakers that would be attending—Dr. Henry Kissinger. Even though I'm not a big history buff I knew this was big! Even at 91 years old, he was as sharp as I remember seeing in old news clips. Hearing him speak was even more impressive than I could have imagined. Every word spoken was that of a wise man, able to sum up a difficult topic in a few words, but yet be so impactful in its delivery and meaning. I was expecting a "grumpy old man" type but was wrong on that one. He was smiling, enjoying the conversation and company he was in. When asking for photos he was more than accommodating. This encounter with him is certainly one of my career highlights.

CommentI am excited to be ordering my first "real" fine art print of the lighthouse image below. Guess I should start gearing up for art shows and festivals?

1 CommentJumping into wedding photography has certainly been a challenge. You know you can do it, but you can't "prove" that to prospective clients. With no portfolio, how can they gain your trust on the biggest day of their lives? With that said, I will be taking on some clients with little pay, just to build up the portfolio. But unfortunately in trying to put my best foot forward, I want to use the best equipment possible. I know what's in the bag doesn't make the pictures but will help me achieve the look and feel I want to produce for the clients. So entering contests and starting the savings toward my goal purchase has begun.
Big thanks to the SnapKnot wedding photography directory for offering this great camera giveaway!
