White Light Exposure

This week we shot the Ed-Fi Summit for the 3rd year. 🌞

This was their 10 year anniversary. Ed-Fi is a group of education & tech peeps working toward more efficient technology in the education space. My favorite part of photographing is that I get to dive deep into industries that I am not a part of. On the sidelines, I get to learn a lil bit about a lot of things that I normally would never experience.

One of the keynotes (the speaker in the power pink 💗) Dr. Bridget Burns, made me tear up from her speech. You can really tell that the Ed-Fi peeps are really passionate for the right reasons.

Then on Tuesday evening, they celebrated 🎉 with a magical 🦄 evening complete with a surprise appearance from 🥁Crockett high school’s marching band 🤯 (omg it was AWESOME) and .picnic’s jugglers, roaming person dessert table (what?!), caricature artist and typewriter poet.

And yeah, some parts were boring (like when 500 people are going through the lunch buffet) …so I decided to see if I could do a hand-held long exposure.

I kneeled down, leaned against the wall and held my breath. Last photo is the result; and I’m totally happy with it. 😅🤣😅 (Def not a recommended method, lol)

We talked about what the energy of 2022 was going to be. What will it be? I kept thinking about this resilient, cautious hopefulness. We’ve been through a lot of weirdness and we continue to adapt and turn with it. Are we out of the irregularity? Nope. Will be ever be? Who knows, but we continue onward - with a newfound strength. And what better symbol of that than … and on her ✨birthday. ✨I think we are doing life right. ✨

Happy Birthday, Sydney!

Happy New Year’s eve, everyone else.
