Dreams starting to come true.....

Well, I think they are beginning to.  Had an opportunity fall in my lap.  A chance reunion with an old friend, Joel Telling, led me down the road to a photo shoot Friday night.  This was a stressful, exciting, amazing, last minute deal scored late Thursday night.  With almost no time to prep my nerves were a bit frazzled.

The event itself was put on by the Tony Taj Gallery, and The Finerie clothing boutique in Seattle to benefit Susan G. Komen for the cure.  I worked with a wonderful woman, Wendy Wood, to provide images for a company called Post on The Wall.  

I worked through the evening on two memory cards, I would photograph for about ten minutes and then switch out with a blank.  While I filled the second card my images were downloaded onto a computer, uploaded onto a screen at the event, and live online at the same time.  It felt a bit awkward to work in this manner, had to check images between guest shots but turned out to be quite fun. 
  
I met a lot of interesting people and hopefully some of them I will be doing more work with in the future.  I can't wait to see what this amazing evening will lead to next.
