Good Monday Morning Students and Faculty,


I hope everyone had a great and relaxing weekend.  Today I want to talk about our August photo challenge.  This is a challenge for all of you to volunteer your photographic services for one day in the month of August.  This challenge has so many benefits not only for the person or organization you are doing it for, but also for your career as a photographer.  When we do any work as a photographer, whether it be for charity or pay, we are promoting our name and building our contacts. I know it may seem difficult with all that we already have going on in our lives and things get so busy, but you will see that if you do this it will definitely pay off in so many ways.  This is a great opportunity to do some marketing and get your name out there.  You can hand out business cards and really show everyone involved how passionate you are about what you do while showing how good you are at it. 


Please start doing some research in your community and see what is available out there for you to take part in.  There are all kinds of events especially during the summer.  You may want to go to your local library and ask if there are any happenings that might need to be captured.  This is really a wonderful way for you to expand your business.  If you are having trouble finding something that you may want to take part in, please don't hesitate to ask me or one of our other ambassadors.  I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.  Good luck and have a great week.
