guess who’s going to Missouri!
a watched pot never boils. neither does a stalked email account
there’s still a ton of logistics to figure out – flights, rental car, hotel, coordinating with Becky so i get to see her at least a little bit while i’m in her general area – but i’m beside myself excited. i really wasn’t sure if i’d get in or not. (don’t you go making a fuss.) it’s a competitive workshop to get into, and probably extra this year since an article ran in the NPPA magazine promoting this, the 60th year of the Missouri Photo Workshop.
and i get to be a part of it.
wheeee!
did i mention that this will most likely be the most challenging thing i’ve ever done? it’s hard-core. no soccer moms wanting to take better photos of their kids. people who attend this are working journalists, students, or people like me – trying to get experience to make the eventual switch into a field i’m insanely passionate about. daily critiques will not be kind. and i’ll be pushed to the max. but the potential for learning is through the roof. i can’t wait.

Great news! How long a program is this?
it’s a week – a sunday through saturday. i’ll have to miss a rehearsal for both choir and revels . . . but it’s totally worth it. hopefully, i’ll have internet so i can blog from the workshop!
