each photographer has been so gracious...they have taught me so much..they have given me feedback, they have helped me in so many ways become a better shooter.
when thinking in retrospect the last few weeks about us leaving soon and leaving the community of photographers i wanted to do something to give back somehow. specifically to second shooters and those getting into the industry.
so...i tweeted a few weeks ago that the first 10 people to respond can come here me say what i know about being second shooter.
that's what i did today...had our "talk"...it was nothing fancy. it, of course, started off with freshly brewed lattes by moi..and then we dove in. i told them a bit about me and my journey to where i am today. and then got into the meat of what being a second photographer means. i had asked several principal photographers to help me out with giving their 5 things they would want every second shooter to know. so i integrated all their gold nuggets into my talk.
there were 9 of us. it was fun..i was a cheeseball. we laughed. i talked to much. ok, i talked a lot! (we were supposed to end at 3..it was 3:38 when we officially stopped!)
thank you miranda, erin, sherri, camille, quin, michael, amber & liz for your "5 things". they were invaluable. xo
and thank you kevin, jen, terry, sarah, sherry, lesley, bob and lani for listening...for a really...long...time. :)
xoxo
