I did it again... I applied for MeRa Koh's SOAR photography scholarship. I figure I really don't have much of a shot at getting it... but if I didn't apply, I REALLY wouldn't have a shot, right dad? You can click on the SOAR site here & see my last-minute video (and of course you can leave a comment on it if you feel so inclined!). I hope there aren't many more applications that got submitted - right now there are only 116 entries, which gives me almost a 1 in 35 shot!
There are some amazing women out there applying & the camaraderie & cheering-everyone-along of the women is pretty incredible. The group of ladies that attended the workshop in May - well, they are awesome. We still keep in touch & are always rooting for each other with our photography & life in general. If you can... save your pennies & go to one of these workshops. It will do amazing things for your photography & your confidence & your vision & you will build a network of awesome loving sisters who love photography as much as you do.
The video is half of the application, the other half was written. It had to be between 90-120 seconds... which is hard! If it seems choppy, it's because it is! I had to go through & erase all my "ummmm"s & pauses to shave seconds off.
Good luck, Kristen! I hope you win. I just started looking at the blog, and now really want to go to a workshop like that...how fun would that be! Amy, lets get rich and then meet up at one.
ReplyDeletedo it, helen & amy!!! worth every penny!
ReplyDeleteHelen, I think we should!
ReplyDeleteKristen, I think your video was great and you should stifle all those downer voices in your head. you are amazing and truly have a gift. Sure, everyone may have a digital camera and photoshop but I also know a lot of people with pianos and music and don't do anything with that either.
how was THAT for a profound analogy!?
thanks, lady!
