PUGS!!!

Nope, not the adorable dogs that I would actually consider owning simply because of their squished face and ridiculous sounding breathing style...no, this was a Pictage Users Group meeting and it was awesome! Okay, so for the longest time I have wanted to find a way to meet photographers around the area and get to know them, to establish some kind of relationship so that we could communicate without making me look like a stalker. Being able to ask questions and share information is priceless in this business and with leaders like Becker and Jasmine Star setting the trend of being willing to share what they know and have learned with others, how can photographers not want to join in this circle of sharing? (sound like kindergarden...that circle of sharing bit) Anyway, I went to the PUG meeting last night at Blake Street Tavern and was a bit apprehensive of how I would be received, if it would already be a tight knit group or what...but, I was really pleasantly surprised to run into so many great people...and photographers.

Some I met were Amanda Tipton, James Christianson, Tori Thorp, Katie Van Buren, Travis Broxton, Melissa Rich, and Alison Williams. What a pleasure to meet each of these individuals. I sincerely look forward to getting to know and work with them in the future!
