And a first step has been taken. I have been thinking a lot about my photography lately. Where is it going and why is it headed in that direction, if in any direction at all. I sat down at the beginning of the year and mapped out a small goal to participate in more online workshops. Not my favorite style of learning, but the easiest for busy mom. But I came across a notice from a photographer who would be hosting one last in person workshop before her family moved overseas. I had followed a little of her work and was quite excited to meet her when I attended another workshop (that I wasn't crazy about). So I took the plunge and booked my spot for her Tampa workshop. Scared to be in a small group of professional photographers, I dug right in, completed the pre-workshop assignments, and showed my work to the group. That one weekend changed how I want to move forward with this journey. This journal is just the start...
