South Carolina Photography Guild

For any that read this on a regular basis, (since the guild does have almost 30 members) you should notice a link on the right panel to the Low Country Blogs. This is a group of people throughout South Carolina (but mostly the Charleston and surrounding area) that have various interests ranging from photography (go figure) to knitting, to Mustangs, and everything in between. Many of these bloggers just enjoy sharing their daily thoughts, views and perspectives on the cornucopia of what could be called A Day in the Life of America (great book by the way).

They held their 2nd get-together yesterday and I went to find out more about them and to meet the people that share the common interest of blogging to share thoughts, perspectives, pictures and ideas. A very universal theme that is very much in keeping with the overall goals of the South Carolina Photography Guild.

While I did not get a chance to really talk in great detail with everybody, here is a smattering of several of the attendees I got the opportunity to speak with:

Another photographer named Jason (very confusing) who actually does it for a living

A fellow former military man named Chuck who also has a career history in photography, (He explained to me how he processed all the film shots that AP sent through his base and he had the pleasure of developing.)

Joan, who organized the whole thing (and has some great shots on her blog “Walk This Way” too by the way, which takes you on a pleasant stroll through her view of Charleston)

Heather from Monck’s Corner Moments, who shares the same camera as I do…(and thanks for the gallery link idea, that has now been implemented if you look to the right!)
Lisa, whose blog Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness imho epitomizes the essence of each of these concepts in her posts (and whose daughter is just a peach and fun to talk to!)

A fellow named Mike who didn’t stop smiling the entire time (who as it turns out, goes by the moniker Notoriously Nice Mike on his blog)

April, who like tech friend Jared (see dedicated link to right) is from sunny California, but has traded coasts and shares her thoughts with us at her blog “Once Upon a Time“. I can’t speak too much of her though, as her camera is nicer than mine!
The amazing Knitting Vera, who despite what she tells you, is knitting with FOUR needles (she claims that since two were sometimes inactive, somehow they don’t count!)
Janet Lee and her now CBS acclaimed Kittens on the Keyboard (and congrats on your novel request news!)
and rounding it out with the now evidently famous Windviel with his blog, Mustang Rolling

All in all, it was a really good time, and I look forward to the next Blogger Party. I’d be interested in one back by the Aquarium again since I missed the first one and am a huge devotee of the water and sunrises and sunsets (just ask my photog friends). And who knows…maybe some of the bloggers will join up with us photoggers on our next shoot in August!
(Oh, by the way, if some of these links don’t match my editorials, please let me know as this was a lot to link up on one post!)
