What I did today...

I am here in the burbs of Chicago. We had a pretty long day of lectures and then got to go out and shoot awhile. It was really fun shooting in the same locations I have seen in Marianne's images for so long now. Though I have to say I felt a little like an intruder shooting in her special spots. Photography is much like real estate in that the mantra is location, location, location. As photographers we are constantly looking for cool places to shoot. I tend to be a nature kind of girl and don't really do much urban work. We shot in an old downtown in an alleyway mostly, so all the urban decay, brickwork, etc. was interesting for me. I have to say that while I enjoyed it, it doesn't feel like me, which is totally fine b/c these are not my spots :) So, the image I picked to share is from a spot a little more my speed. Don't get me wrong, I am always up to trying new locations and new styles, but of course, everyone kind of has their "thing". I like green, so I like to shoot where things are green. I am having a great time getting to know the other ladies, but I do miss my kids a BUNCH. So, I am anxious for the info tomorrow and to get my booty back home. I may share more later, but for now just one sweet one of some lovely sisters.
