I had a great week!

July 10th, 2006

I’m back from Sacramento, and all I can say is that youth camp was great!  I didn’t get a chance to take pictures because I was so busy having fun with the kids.  This time for camp I had college students and I was very impressed by their maturity and their faith. 

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank many of you for your support and encouragement.  Often people talk about their kids, and I know this is kind of weird, but I can’t help but think that my photography is my kid.  It’s something that came into my world and has only brought me alot of rewarding hard work and joy.  I’ve been getting great feedback about my work, as well as a lot of constructive criticism on how I can improve, which I really appreciate.  For example, I got a call from a Ayman (a potential client who is getting married in Michigan), saying that they found someone else, but I was at the top of their list if not for a couple shooting their wedding.  So it looks like I got beat by a husband and wife team, and when I learned of this I just started laughing, because that was something out of my control; I’m a one person team.  Thanks to Ayman for the encouragement and congratulations on your upcoming celebration!

Another note:  On the day of the wedding, per request of the couple, I usually show a same-day slideshow of the getting ready pics and ceremony pictures.  I have this really neato program that processes my images and times it to a song of choice.  Anyhow, here’s the slide show that was shown at Jeff and Ying’s wedding
