I hate being in front of the camera. I think this is true for many photographers. We feel safe behind the lens, telling people how to pose and where to look. 2009 is the year of personal experiments for me, and here is one that I want to share with you. I’ve decided to record myself interviewing a few friends with the objective of letting the Sacramento market know where the best vendors are and this conversation will force me from behind the camera and into the hot seat. The video below is my first stab at this experiment. My personal goal is to feel confident and find my voice, thank you Vu and the crew of Camera Dojo for this idea.

This Swopmeet was held at the Holiday Inn in downtown Sacramento. I don’t know if this is typical of January or if it was related to a rainy night or the economy, but it was a fun and cozy crowd. I also made a few friends:
- Sophia of Elite Events
- Dennetra of Drinks on Us
- Lisa a Makeup and Hairstyling Artist
- Gino Creglia I’m a fan of his photography
- Kimberlee of Bejoux Style
- Ryan of Donahue Photography
