I went a little early to ask some questions and hear Q&A with the ShowIt Support Studs. Below is Andrew showing us some of the cool stuff ShowIt does.
Jim Davis-Hicks started Thirst Relief International and was so inspiring when he spoke later in the evening about how God inspired this outreach and how he's been able to incorporate it into his photography and get so many people involved!
We met for the evening at Ambient Plus Studio, which was AWE-some.
The amazing Molly Jenson sang throughout the evening and I'm happy to say that if you keep up with me, you'll be hearing her music soon!
David Jay was up and speaking in between everyone and it was such an honor to meet him and hear from him in person. He has so many stories and a unique insight into this thing called photography that we all love.
The first speaker of the evening was Ron Dawson who is actually a videographer. He gave us much food for thought in regards to adding video to our business. Not so much as another thing we do (although that's quite possible with video in DSLRs these days) but in using video to introduce ourselves to clients and visitors to our websites! I, for one, love getting to a website and getting to hear directly from the person I'm trying to learn about, so why not try it for ourselves? Something to think about...
So, I mentioned Jim Davis-Hicks and Thirst Relief, but when he came up to speak, he was telling us about Action Runner and how it's letting him do what he loves (photography and Thirst Relief) and live life to the fullest - yes, at the same time! So, if you're a photographer and reading this (thanks, btw!) you should check it out. The fun news of the evening was that I won a free copy of Action Runner! I'm so pumped and can't WAIT to start using it!
The last speaker of the evening was Promise Tangeman. She rocked it out - in her style and what she talked about - in regards to defining our vibe in our business and using ShowIt to do it. I mean, seriously, she's awesome. And did I mention that the girl has style?? Love it.
Kevin, one of the ShowIt evangelists, was fantastic. In just listening to him for like 10 minutes, I learned at least a dozen awesome things in regards to my site that I didn't even know I could do!
Thank you guys SO much for everything in Atlanta. Safe travels for the rest of the tour in your sweet tour bus!
