It’s a BIG week…and weekend!

Hi everyone!! It’s Tuesday with a BANG in our neck of the woods.
This week…I can only look at my To-Do list…for the day…and not for the week. Because if I look at the whole thing…I’m certain I cannot finish it all.
So it’s baby steps…one day at a time. LOL.

This week I am working on all my regular work for Demand Studios, my photography business stuff, of course working on my never-ending list of homework for school…and I am also preparing to go back to Alpine this weekend. I am so super excited about this weekend…when I think about it…my heart skips a few beats and FLUTTERS!

As you know I’ll be attending the Shooting West Texas Symposium…featuring some phenomenal photographers. Major TALENT from ALL OVER Texas.
Here’s just an example of who I will be listening to:

T.J. Tucker, Creative Director, Texas Monthly magazine

Crystal Allbright – photographer and artist

Crystal Allbright comes from Terlingua. She began photography with a Kodak Instamatic and kept a camera handy as she studied art and music at Austin College, a liberal arts school in Sherman, Texas. After employment as a photographer’s assistant and serving on the board of Allen Street Gallery in Dallas, she moved to West Texas in 1990 and continued her studies at Sul Ross State University, fortunate to work under Barbara Richerson. Allbright reluctantly moved from black and white film to digital color file, but has not used an SLR in years, preferring the mobility and spontaneity of smaller cameras while hiking, mountain biking and river running in the Big Bend. Her photographs have adorned the Big Bend Gazette, the Cenizo Journal, 2005-2008 Big Bend Texas Mountains Travel Guide, Mountain Bike Action, IMBA (International Mountain Bicycling Association) Newsletter, and Velo News among others.
