Well. As much as it PAINS me to see myself on camera, I thought I’d post my Ignite presentation here for those of you who weren’t able to make it to the closing program at WPPI. There was a packed house of over 1,000 other photographers in the room, some of which were my very favorite photographers EVER. And I was speaking with some of the most inspiring photographers too. My first thoughts when I saw this were
1. Do I REALLY sound like that when I talk? YIKES
2. Can I say “UM” any more times? HELLO?
3. The yellow really isn’t working for me now is it? Oh well…….
4. as shallow as it sounds, “I HAVE GOT to hit the gym hard core” (which I have done by the way! YAY! and I feel better!)
and last of all, could I just catch my breath? None of you can see though how I’m SHAKING up there HAHAHAA, but you can hear it in my voice. This is one of the most amazing things I’ve done, but also one of the hardest! I’m sure like a LOT of the other presenters have said, I can talk about anything most of the time. BUT when you tell me I only have 5 minutes and that I have to stay with my slides that advance every 15 seconds, automatically, well, then it’s a whole different story! When I got done and off the stage my whole body was shaking. All that adrenaline I guess. So without further adieu, here I am at WPPI for my very first time, presenting at IGNITE! I hope to help out when they come to both Portland and Seattle, so maybe I’ll meet you there!
Wheeeee!
how nerve racking!
