Photo-A-Day #1905
The Evolution of Women in Social Media… Great conference but why was I there? It was funny telling people that I was going to a conference and then telling them the titled of the conference. I got a lot of funny looks. Why was I going to go to Utah to spend the weekend with a couple hundred female bloggers? I’ll tell you why, and it wasn’t just because I was speaking. I went because I saw the potential to make some really strong personal connections with people who understand Social Media and what it means to be a blogger. I saw the opportunity to hear fresh new voices of courage and strength. I saw a hidden gem of a conference that was engaging, intimate and inspiring. That is why I attended Evo’10 and why I’ll be ready to sign up for Evo’11. Continue reading Goodbye Evo’10, Thanks for the Inspiration →
While at The Evolution of Women in Social Media Conference I took part in the Photography hands on Session. The session was lead by Aimee Giese (@GreebleMonkey), Casey Mullins (@Mooshinindy), Jennifer Cisney (@KodakCB) and Jen Lemen (@jenlemen). The photography session took place at the Red Pine Cabin, a short 12 minute gondola ride up the mountain. The group meet in the upper room of the lodge and we were introduced to each person and their shooting styles as well as their tips and tricks. There were giveaways of cameras and also great photo tip cards from Kodak. After the panel discussion portion we went outside and took a photowalk around the area. I decided to go with Aimee’s group and immediately asked her about shooting out in bright sunlight because it was a bright day and a skill that I think is my weakest.
Aimee was very helpful to me and armed with that new knowledge I walked around with more confidence to shoot the great scenery and have fun doing it. The photowalk portion was not nearly long enough but it was still fun. I added my photos to Flickr as part of the Evo’10 set with the tag “Evo Workshop Photography”. Please visit and let me know what you think of the photos.
