So I know this is a few weeks overdue, but here is my recap of the few Escalate Live sessions that I tuned into:
From Jerry Ghionis:
Look for the light and slow down. If that’s all you change you’ll be a better photographer next week.
You don’t have to be the best, all you have to do [...]
I came across this quote in Bobby Earle’s blog post titled “Originality is Overrated (for Photographers).” In it, he writes about the importance of sincerity in art and I couldn’t agree more. I know for a fact that I do my best work without the added pressure of doing it for any other reason than [...]
Two things that came in my inbox yesterday that couldn’t have been read at a better time:

Also, “Do something everyday that scares you.”
Today I have done something that has scared me which may lead me to doing something I never did. I’ve [...]
Title quote from Brida by Paulo Coelho.

Hi! My name's Huong (pronounced "Hung") and I'm a photographer, writer, wife, and paranoid germaphobe who lives in Roanoke, VA. Traveling, good reads, and witty people with lovely brains are a few of my favoite things, but photography and writing are what this web log is about :)
I also smile a lot.
