Ok, so, everybody looks up to me cause I'm a "professional" photographer. That actually doesn't mean I'm better than anyone cause I see loads of amazing photos on here all the time from you guys.
Just because I'm a professional, however, doesn't mean I don't still get excited when I see myself in the local newspaper. The Roanoke Times in Roanoke, Virginia published a littler blurb about me because of a photography seminar I am teaching this coming week.
This is kinda awesome. I like it. And if anyone on 365 is close by Abingdon, Virginia, you should come by Thursday for the seminar! Ya'll know how I love to teach.
Oh yeah...and geckos are kinda weird. I mean...their scaley and green and kinda tiny. They're like miniature Komodo dragons, just not as cool. Like a runt Komodo dragon. Or a Rumodo dragon. Yeah, that's what geckos are. Rumodos.
@kerristephens Geckos are tiny, and although they can run fast it's cause everyone else is trying to either eat them or step on them so really they only move fast cause they are too weak to defend themselves.
I'm hijacking my own thread bragging about myself. Lame.
Ok congrats on the write-up but remember in advertising 101 when you were taught treat every word as if it would cost $1,000 to print... with that in mind the title of the photo in the story is a touch 20 words too long... perhaps the classic Building with Lights #X (where x is whatever number this is in the series)...
@jasonbarnette Congrats! Man I would love to be there but Newport News is oh so close but NOT close enough. Have a great time and teach lots of cool stuff. I will be dreaming that I could go.
@blightygal As in...you hope I was being sarcastic? Not too much, really.
@icywarm Very true...but that wasn't an example of advertising photography, that was an example of editorial photography. It was just a standard photojournalism caption, although @katiegc24 keeps trying to get me to try something new.
@breeding_photos I'll make you the same offer I've made tons of other people on 365, some of whom I think are actually taking me up on it. If you have the means, ability, and time to coordinate a facility like a large room and can create an event for me to come there and speak, I would be happy to teach a photography seminar. It isn't something I do full-time, but I would like to do it more often. Just a thought...

While am very happy for you to be doing stuff you like, I do hope your opening line was tongue in cheek.

-And so is being humble!
Geckos are the most awesome critters in existence.
Look at that. How can you not fall in love with it?
My apologies, Jason. You have been replaced by a gecko. Now how do you feel?? :P
ALSO: Yes, you need to beat the egg story. Which was kinda epic. :D
I SPAMMED UP YOUR THREAD AGAIN LOLOLOLOL
Sorry.
