I am so excited about a trip that I am going on next week. First I will go to the Alabama/Kentucky football game in Tuscaloosa where I will see some old friends and good football....oh and what about that Tide beating those Dawgs! We will turn around and come home so I can pack up and go to New Orleans for a 3 day photography workshop on Sunday afternoon. This is no ordinary workshop....it is Image X. It has the industries best and I am going to learn all I can from them. Photography is one of those things that I have loved for a long time. I worked for a few photographers and freelanced for a the Tuscaloosa News. I shot for the AP at Talledega (oh, the stories!), a few SEC sporting events and several other great events. When I moved to Jackson in '98 I put my camera down. When I was expecting Sophie, I jumped into the digital world and I decided to start shooting again. I can shoot till my hearts content and it doesn't cost a thing like film photography used to. I want to be better and this is a rare opportunity to learn from some of my favorites. As a matter of fact, I was able to get into Jessica Claire's class and I am psyched! There are several incredible photographers that are going to be teaching and I was fortunate enough to secure a spot in her class. I can't wait! Little Landry will be with her Daddy until Monday and then he will take her to the Barnharts for a few nights. They will keep her until I pick her up on Wednesday. I feel so fortunate that I have somewhere I know she will be taken care of, spoiled and most of all...loved. Since we don't have family here, they have easily taken that role and we feel very blessed to have them. They asked me if they could pick her up on Sunday and bring her home on Friday. I told her that she wouldn't be worth having if she was spoiled that long! My biggest challenge will be being away from her for 3 nights. I just can't even think about it right now. I have asked them to be on standby if I needed to meet them half way so I could see her! If you're curious, check out Image X and Jessica Claire.
