For my latest feature story, I had the opportunity to talk to three different photographers in the state of Maryland. The first interview I did was Karlo Gesner of Deep Creek Lake, MD. He actually has an engineering degree from Virginia Tech. It's was inspiring to listen to his story on how he became a photographer and to listen to how he took what he loved to do and turned it into a career and above all a passion.
The next photographer i sat down with is Patrick Smith, a 2009 graduate here at Towson University. What was most impressive about Smith was his confidence as a photographer. This was great for me to hear because on a personal note I sometimes lack confidence as a photographer. To listen to his story about how he has already set career goals for himself and achieved them was an inspiration as well.
Bernie Hennaghan has been a photographer in Frostburg, MD for 14 years now, and offered some advice from the perspective of somebody who has been in business for a while. His advice was practical, and stems from his own personal experiences as he has developed his own business.
All three of these photographers are amazing in their craft, and their websites and blogs are filled with evidence of this.
The final story, titled "Picturing a Passion - Independent Photographers Shoot On" is now completed and will be up for the reading hopefully tommorow. Dreamweaver was being its old self again last week but hopefully it will come around.
For photographers and readers in general, this story will offer a glimpse of how inspirational being able to talk to these three photographers really was.
