Okay, some of you might know my story by now. I was the associate photographer for my dear friend, Naomi Williams, for 3 years. I loved working for her and consider myself abundantly blessed to have had the opportunity to do so. If you keep up with my blog at all you’ll remember that Naomi was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in March and passed on July 1st. It was (and still is) a difficult thing to walk through but I’m also so excited about what the future holds. It is now my dream to build my own photography business and carry her legacy with me. I’m in the midst of organizing and gathering, planning and dreaming. It can all be a little overwhelming at times and during those hours of frustration I often take a break to stalk the blogs that give me inspiration. I scrolled the mouse down the page to the cute little icon for one of my faves…justin and mary. As I began to read the recent blog I was like, “What? I could get them to come to Jax? I could really use them right now.” They do a workshop called Spread the Love and right now they are having people send in their votes of where they should go on their tour in 2010. On top of that you get to possibly win prizes for voting – and who doesn’t LOVE to win prizes.
So, for all you Jacksonville Photographers, head on over to www.justinmarantz.com and vote for them to come to Jax and Spread some Love around here. Guys, we’re pretty low – well VERY low – on the list so get all your friends over there to vote.
I hope to see you all at Spread the Love when they come to the sunny south! Meg
