Welcome to our new ringer Team Leader

Hey guys,

This EAW Rust blog has been pretty quiet lately so I figured I would take the reins while busy Melissa prepares for 2009 Geekfest in St. Pete, FL this weekend. I don't know if any of you APADers are going but you should. There is a great line up of heavy hitter, Pulitzer-prize winning speakers that will be attending. I unfortunately cannot attend due to being poor and being located out in California. But it looks like it will be a good warm up for Eddie Adams and it promises to be a stellar time.

We have finally reached the one-month-to-go marker for the start of Eddie Adams Workshop! I can't wait. Is anybody else having difficulty editing down portfolios to show? I feel like my photography has many different sides to it and choosing to edit for one leaves out the other. Choices, choices, choices. I am thinking the better route for portfolio presentation for me will be prints in a binder instead of ...say a blurb.com book. In the end, it is the ability to rearrange the order of the photos that might come in handy. What are all you guys planning?

Also, I am sure that you have all found out that Lauren Greenfield unfortunately will not be able to make it this year. A bummer for sure but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Yunghi Kim has stepped in to the post. If you guys haven't already seen her work it is pretty incredible. Check it out Yunghi Kim Photography. Welcome to the Rust Team Yunghi!

October approaches. Good luck getting portfolios together everybody. Really looking forward to meeting you all. Here is a Ed Abby quote I stumbled upon the other day and thought you all might want to see it. It made me think of my journey as a photographer. Peace, -Greener
