I'm hosting my first photography meetup.com this afternoon March 15th at the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria.  I've got 5 ladies joining me - we'll see how it goes.  If it's a success I'll see about organizing another one that combines an invite out to this group too.  Baby steps to success.

Vivian Maier documentary

I had the chance to watch the Vivian Maier documentary this weekend.  It is just amazing the number of pictures she took. It is an interesting story.
I believe it is available for free on-demand if you have showtime. I noticed it is available for rent on Amazon and Apple TV. I hope you like it.

Storytelling.  If there is a thread that runs through my pictures, storytelling stands out as a big part of what I do.  This class has helped me to become more clear about that.  Here's a series from last Thursday, Friday and Saturday that I call "3 Days in February".  I had no intention of doing any photography but grabbed my point/shoot as I walked out the door just in case.  Thursday and Friday were in NYC and Saturday was at a jazz concert here in this building.
