Stepping out of my comfort zone this past Saturday, I decided to attend an artist meetup at Studio Without Walls, the studio belonging to my RISD instructor. Anxious at first, I dreaded introducing myself to people knowing that I would be immediately sized up by the amount of glass on my camera, (and as I quickly learned, this sentiment is probably the reason why the meetups ask for everyone to bring a bottle of wine). I was surprised by the amount of warm, open people who were willing to work, share and even photograph me. I have a lot of ideas bouncing around in my head and it's been a long while since I've shot anything I've deemed as "decent" but I think this might be the start of something.
