From the November issue of Shutterbug, and one of the reasons why I'm proud to be a part of this community!:
From the Internet To Face-to-Face "We are advertis'd by our loving friends." - William Shakespeare
Contrary to popular opinion, friends who meet on the Internet do get together in person to share their love of photography. Members of SmugMug's (www.smugmug.com) online photo sharing service get together for an annual shootout and invited Mary and I to join them. This year's SmugMug Shootout was held during May in Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. Members came from all over the country and from as far as Australia. One Dutch member who couldn't make the event sent candy. It was de-lish. Our host for the event, SmugMug's resident pro, Andy Williams, held the event together with the right balance of order and flexibility. Instructors were Marc Muench (http://muenchphotography.com) and David Porter (http://daveporter.com) who provided attendees with insights as well as the best critiques of images I've ever seen. Mary and I left the shootout with lots of real friends.
