I spent this past weekend in Grand Island at the Professional Photographers of Nebraska Fall Conference. It was a great weekend of seminars, mentoring, networking and socializing. I sat under the instruction of some great photographers from Nebraska and abroad learning about posing, lighting, photoshop, marketing, etc! My head and notebook are busting out with new information and ideas! It is all a bit overwhelming and as my husband (he’s a firefighter) likes to say, “It is like trying to take a drink from a fire hydrant!” (he is quite poetic don’t you think?).
One thing I thought I would share because I am just too excited not to, is that I actually won something at my first ever photo competition. Now, granted, this was not like the national print competitions, but it was a contest from among my peers and to have my work recognized was an incredible honor!
