There are so many reasons to love doing what I do. One of those big reasons is the people, specifically the people behind the cameras. This industry is home to some of the nicest, honest people I could imagine...and I love being able to learn from them, hang out with them, share with them, etc. And of course many of those people are those of you who read this blog every now and then-I just want to say thanks for sharing the same goal of raising the bar in this industry through education, sharing ideas, practices, etc. I truly wouldn't be where I am right now without each and every one of you.

Of those nicest people out there, the extremely talented Doug + Chenin Boutwell from the OC would need to be included in that list. I told you guys about an action set 3 weeks ago that they recently made available to other professional (and non professional) photographers alike. I like 'em cause they really enable me to focus on my photography instead of some of the other aspects the trojan horse of digital photography brought with it. It's always nice to receive comments from your peers. They wrote an extremely nice comment about me and thus many of you new readers decided to stop by-I hope you guys stay! If you don't know who the Boutwells are, go visit their blog (click on image) and stop wastin' your time here!! And it sure won't hurt to stop by Becker's and The Image is Found's blogs as well.

I haven't done this before but I just received this from Nellie, regarding her wedding...it's so nice to get these every now and then!
