Where I'll Be....... Jonathan Chapman at the Apple Store

If you are in Chicago tonight, I would love for you to stop by the Apple Store in Lincoln park to listen to Jonathan Chapman discuss his body of work and working with Motion. Alot of photographers are becoming directors and working with video, so the amazing people on the board with me at APA Midwest thought a "Discussion on Motion" was needed NOW!!

So I hope you can make it!! I think this would be great for all creatives! So come on by and say hello!

Where I'll Be... February Events

Happy February!!! 1 month down 11 more to go! Actually, I'm not going to think about it like that I have very open welcoming arms for 2011 and I am excited that all is to come with it. January was soo busy right? At least for me it was. APA had lots of great events that if you were involved in the photo community I hope you were able to check out. I didnt have time to post them here (Sorry!!! I know I said I would, Im trying to do better, hence this post!) You can always keep track of what that APA Midwest is doing by joinging us on Facebook here
