A week in Chicago

I just got back from a 4 day seminar in Chicago. It was fantastic! Lectures were given by Jeff and Julia Woods, Becker, Cliff Mautner and Laura Novak. I learned sooo much and now have information overload!!! It wasn't all work - we managed to sneak out and have a little fun too. A few of us got a luxery box and attended the White Soxs game. I grew up watching games in the Fenway bleachers -so this was a whole new way to go. Fun night - White Soxs lost - unfortunately so did the Red Soxs. Also had time to slide out to Navy Pier - eat dinner at Bubba Gump (shrimp of course!) and watch some fireworks. Here are a few images from that night.





The best part of the week was meeting fellow photographers and talking "business" all week. I encourage anyone who owns/runs a small business to attend a seminar - you make great connections but also develope your own support group - awesome!

A beautiful beach night!

The night before I left for Chicago (more about that later) I photographed Jane and Cory down at Compo Beach in Westport. It was a beautiful classic summer evening at the beach - great sunset, light breeze everything an evening at the beach should be. We got some wonderful images - Cory and Jane were up for anything - climbing rocks, standing in the sea grass and lounging outside the locker rooms. Couldn't have asked for a better night.

Moving Blog

Please excuse the lack of images - I've just moved my blog on to my web page (www.jsjursen.com/blog) and now have to relink all the images! Hopefully all will be back to normal quickly!
