Santa Barbara City College

I spoke at the Santa Barbara City College (Linda Lowell's fabulous class) with fellow friend and photographer Kristen Beinke. We had fun sharing what we've experienced in starting our photography businesses. Linda was actually one of my teachers at Brooks Institute of Photography my first year. I gotta tell ya--that lady was TOUGH! I remember going to her after class because I had an image I thought was good and it got a C and I just could not figure it out...she said "it's good--that's why I gave you a C" and then she said "you took this picture like everyone else would have--what makes it special and unique". It's so true-it takes seeing something different to make an image great! I loved that and I still hear her in my ears as I shoot. Thank you Linda for that great lesson!
