Joyce Tenneson

Also while I'm thinking of it, I wanted to do a quick post about my night last night. 

I had the great honor of being able to see Joyce Tenneson (photo legend/God/idol) speak and I must say, as if I wasn't in love with her enough before that, I am positively infatuated now! She is SUCH a beautiful person inside and out and what I admire most about her is her honesty and humility in the face of all her many accomplishments. 

One thing i do NOT enjoy about the photographic society is the fact that many photographers develop a larger and larger ego the better they get. I, on the other hand wish to become more and more humble the better I get. I want to give myself over to my vision so much that I don't think of photography as a "career" but more a calling. And I deeply admire Joyce for her reverence and humility regarding her craft. 

I've decided to actively pursue researching her and possibly assisting for her someday!! After the seminar I went and purchased her book "A Life in Photography" and got to meet her and have her sign it for me!!!! 

Okay I'm really going to sleep now, tah!
