#neccc2019

Amherst, MA, has played a large part of my family's history. My mother was born there, delivered by her grandmother. My cousin worked for the Dickinson family and another cousin at UMass for 40 years, in the horse barn. He would bring us down to see baby animals born each spring. I went to grad school at UMass. The campus looked beautiful last weekend for the photo conference. #neccc2019 #visitma #pioneervalley #umassamherstalumni (at Amherst, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9gICnnDtt/?igshid=10yd31wxr3i8z

I am awed by the achievements of @kristiodom in her thus-far-brief career. Huge lesson from her over this past weekend: what do I see? What do I feel? What can I eliminate? Maybe more importantly: give love another chance. ❤️❤️ Thank you Kristi! #neccc2019 #nikonambassador #neverstoplearning (at New England Camera Club Council) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz6spP1nATB/?igshid=1lck6e3y6by85

I guess there's a bird theme this week. I met these beauties at #neccc2019 today and tried out the @sony animal eye tracking update. #swipeleft👈 for cute owl. + + #raptors #kestrel #owl #photoeducation #neverstoplearning (at University Of Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz1XqLNHKis/?igshid=1p2qtcdciqwv1

Last year at #neccc I basically learned how to turn my camera on. From @irablockphoto I learned a lot about composition. From @brookeshaden I've learned about creative passion. This year I'm ready to kick it up a notch. I also need a better phone.
