Imaging USA 2018: Nashville

Imaging USA 2018: Nashville

Last month I travelled to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Imaging USA which is Professional Photographers of America’sannual convention. It was my first time attending Imaging USA and it was a wonderful experience. Everyone was surprised that I hadn’t been before because I have been an active member of PPA for many years. I’ve just had pregnancies and nursing babies and other excuses not to go in…

iPhone Friday - Imaging USA

iPhone Friday – Imaging USA

I got back a couple of days ago from Nashville where I attended Imaging USA 2015. I can’t say enough about the experience. It was 4 days filled with educational seminars and photographic inspiration.

I was fortunate to reconnect with some old friends and make new ones. I finally got to meet photographers who I had only interacted with online and that was a thrill. I didn’t do any shooting because…

Re-branding, reinventing, reflecting

I am in the process of looking back to move forward. I am finally in a place and space in my life where I can put energy and focus toward re-branding who I am as photographer and it has brought plenty of unexpected challenges.

I did not have any illusions when I began the process that it would be easy or happen over night. I knew it would be time consuming, frustrating, a bit depressing and definitely not straightforward.

I have a long check list of things to be done; design a logo, write my “about me” statement, collect portfolio images, build a website to name a few. All this seems relatively tangible but it hasn’t been. I am not sure if it because of my shift of focus to another genre of photography photojournalism to lifestyle portraiture or straight up indecision with a healthy does of ADHD.

I do have a new acceptance and understanding of the process after the last month of pushing to meet self-imposed deadlines.

Coming to terms with where I am, how I got here and where I hope to go has given me plenty to think about day and night.

I try not to beat myself up about where I wish I was--- (the Pulitzer really isn’t in the cards anymore) and focus more on what I want out of life. How do I want to spend my days?

The short answer is: being present, not living to complete a “to do” list and having no regrets.

We have all heard the famous quote “Life is a journey, not a destination.” and if you are like me you may have wanted to throw up a few times when some wise sole laid it on me at the peak of a stressful situation, well now I truly get the meaning.

I plan on am making room in my life to enjoy this process. I am not running a race.

I am off to Imaging USA- one of the largest photo conferences I have ever been to; an expected 12,000 attendees. I am guessing there will be a major focus on defining who you are throughout the weekend.

I am ready and plan on being able to answer with confidence and excitement about the future.
