photo night with pete souza & the joy of conversing
The Photo Department in the JSchool at UNC hosts a Photo Night once a month that features a pro photojournalist who comes to speak and show his or her work. Last night Pete Souza, who works for the Washington D.C. bureau of the Chicago Tribune was the featured photog. He's done some pretty diverse and impressive work, so I recommend checking him out.
As is the custom, a group of us went to Linda's, a bar on Franklin Street, afterwards to share a few beers and talk. This time it was a small group, which is really nice because everyone has the ability to talk together around a little table. And it's definitely motivating to discuss what is happening in the media world with a mixed group of professionals and students. Ideas and speculations begin circulating and they all certainly inspire me to keep going and to try to innovate and produce. It reminds me of how much more I still need to learn, but the awareness of the need to learn such things is really important and is obviously the first step in doing so. So, cheers to sharing beers, laughs, and ideas.
