#Photogranerd Things (what i’m up to)

Just to let you know what I’ve been up to photographically (for those of you who aren’t doing your loyal stalker duties to the utmost*), I thought I’d let you all know that I’m engaging in several Photography Projects this year. I’m posting them daily over at my little subdomain of this site that I like to call Everyday Lotus.

A summary of the projects I’m wrangling this year:

• Picture it Outside the Box
• Project 365
• i365 – One great photo with my iPhone every day.
• The Flip Side Meme
• Everyday Me – A photo of myself, same angle and expression, every day.
• Project 52 – One portrait of myself per week.
• The Monthly Bewb – One shot o’ the rack per month.

Here are some of my favorites so far:

I’m very excited to share with you that I’m one of seven women who will be running the Photography Wisdom Workshop at Blissdom on Wednesday, January 26th (1-4:30).

Composition has been covered.  What we need now is to get everyone out of automatic mode.  BlissDom provides time to sit down in small groups and focus on what your camera can really do.  Experienced and supportive workshop leaders will concentrate on teaching just what each part of the camera does.  What is AV? What is TV? How the heck do I shoot in manual?  Can someone please explain the difference between Adobe RGB and sRGB?  RAW? An intimate hands-on learning environment followed by time to put your newly achieved non-automatic techniques to use with your instructors right there for additional help.

Fabulous women who will be there, ready to help:

Mishelle Lane
Deanna Garretson
Casey Mullins
Dawn Camp
Angie Arthur
Amy Locurto
Lotus Carroll
(yes, I am fabulous. shut up.)

If you have questions about how to “get off the green square” and grow your photographic skill, you definitely want to be there.  Check out the work of the women running the workshop ahead of time to see who you may want to work with most, and bring your camera, photos, computers, questions, and be ready to learn in a completely hands-on environment.  This one’s not a lecture, folks.

I’m also one of the Photography Tribe Leaders for Blissdom, along with Deanna Garretson, Casey Mullins, Dawn Camp, and Angie Arthur. So if you’re coming, and you’re a Fellow Photogranerd, make sure you hook up with our tribe!   We’ll be there the whole time to help you with anything you need, guide you to events, answer questions, and have the kind of fun that the camera obsessed enjoy.

FInally, I’m super-dee-duper excited about a trip I get to take at the beginning of February, hosted by Adobe evangelist Julieanne Kost.  It’s a Photography Girls Getaway in San Francisco with a full day to tour the city and take photos of iconic landmarks first, and then a half-day seminar to learn about and see what Adobe Lightroom 3 can do for a photographer’s organizing/editing/sharing workflow and how it works with Photoshop for a seamless photo editing experience.  I’m so excited about this trip, and I can’t wait to show you photos and share the details of the experience when I return.

I’ve had the Instagram App for awhile, but just started actually using my account recently.  I’m loving it!  If you’re on Instagram, hit me up.

So what’s up in your world?  Who’s going to be in Nashville next week!?  Holla!
