Thanks for the warm welcome, I know I will enjoy this group. If you travel across the state on I-20 you travel right by me, I'm in Pell City which is about 30 miles east of Birmingham. I have been to Atlanta many times. Been to Mississippi a couple times down at the coast. What a terrible sight when I went down there after Katrina. It just broke my heart to see all the destruction. Its one thing to see it on tv but a whole different thing to see it in person.
I was a reluctant digi at first, a die hard film photog. But finally broke down and bought a little point and shoot at the beach one year and was hooked! I can now shoot like crazy and not have all that expense, why in the world did I wait sooooo long......lol. Those were the days wondering if you had the shot. It wasnt so bad doing portraits but weddings always had me on the edge until I got the proofs back, and knock on wood, I never had any problems.
We have a arts and crafts fair called Homestead Hollow a couple times a year and there are usually a photog or two there, after I started doing videos it got me thinking about doing someting there. I could set up a few tvs and have the videos on loops playing for them to watch and then I could either pre-sell and or give them info about it. So now to just learn this progam and practice. I'm going to try to shoot for the one in the fall so it will give me plenty of time to figure out just how to present and price it.
And speaking of book writting, boy us photographers sure could tell some stories, aaahhhhhhh the weddings I have seen
