As of late I have been really into photography. I have had such a passion for learning more about it that I searched the web for a local photo walking group and found Photowalking Utah. This has been such a wonderful group of people. I have been to one event and one presentation.

The presentation was last night and was giving by Rich Legg and Scott Bourne. Melissa was nice enough to come join me. (I considered it a mini date.) Rich is a local photog (That's what photographers call each other) and he talked about giving back. He stressed the importance of giving back to your community in anyway you can, and in this case he was stressing our abilities as photographers. He challenges us all to give an hour a week. There were 150 people there and if everyone gave that one hour a week it would be the equivalent to 4 full-time photog. It was a great message that got me thinking about how I could give back.

Scott Bourne talked about previsualization in photograph. He suggested that we shouldn't go out willy-nilly to take picture but to go out with a purpose. He share his experience of having a certain picture that he wanted to take and that it took him 12 years to achieve it. (Picture Below)

I really enjoyed being able to learn from so many great photogs, and I encourage everyone to give back.
