This weekend I attended one of my favorite events of the year. The Southwestern Photojournalism Conference in Ft. Worth, Texas. I love this three day event. I have been to at least 6 of these conferences or more and I get something new from it each time and meet so many cool people. One of the things I love about it is that they let anybody have the stage for 2 minutes to either present 6 photos or a multimedia presentation. You get up and introduce yourself and talk about your photos. I love this because I get to learn about some many cool people and what they are doing. I’ve made some great friends from this. Because I presented some of my photographs of my baking endeavors at the last conference this year I decide to show the food photos I have been taking recently for jobs that are a direct result of the self project. So, I thought I let you see my two minute show.
This is the only photo I took of my baked goods that I showed. My Hostess cupcake.
It was kinda neat that I went up right before dinner, too. I have been doing a lot of food photography for San Antonio Magazine and love it. Be sure to check out the March and April issues. You might recognize a byline or two.
Also, the SWPJC has a special place in my heart because back when I was 16 I attended it for the first time and that was when I figured out that I was supposed to be a photojournalist. I can’t count the amount of amazing things that have happened at or through this conference. You can’t forget Babe’s Chicken Dinner House either.
