The Black Hills Photo Shootout
was so fun for so many reasons!
The speakers
The photowalks
The history
The beauty
of the
Black Hills
The weather
The fall foliage
Trying out new angles and perspectives
New equipment
Seeing new sights
Learning new techniques
and
Thinking of new possibilites
But making great friends along the way with someone
who shares the same love for photography
and who makes life light and fun
is really what made the weekend complete.
Dede is a sparkler . . .
where ever she is, she shines light and happiness
she makes the mood light and fun . . . happy.
I just watched over the weekend
how she is a magnet to people.
They just gravitate to her and her joy.
Everyone who knows her knows that this is true.
A natural encourager, she makes me feel like I can do anything!
Thanks Dede!
I had a blast of fun with you!
How sweet is this! It's so awesome to have people like this in our lives. Congrats on the new lens!
