Broadcast, Broadcast

We definitely live in a society where almost anything is being broadcasted.  Ever since I attended the Southern Weddings Social Media Workshop last Friday, I've met several more people that work directly in Social Media.  What is the #1 thing in common that they all mentioned to me?  Webcasting!  Ooh, how I hate how I sound on video, but I also see this as another opportunity for me to step out of my comfort zone :)

I've been doing some online-window shopping for a good camcorder/video camera since the movie feature in my point-n-shoot digital camera is a bit low-end, and I found this in Amazon:

Fellow bloggers and webcasters, what are your thoughts on a good and affordable video camera out there...and well, simply your thoughts on video blogging as well? :)

Thank you!

Lara Casey's Social Media Workshop

Editor-in-chief, Lara Casey, for Southern Weddings Magazine offered a fun and educational workshop on Social Media last Friday.  I learned a lot of new things on blogging, Twitter and Facebook that are essential for my business.  Met and networked with new photographers in Florida.  I was stoked to find out a couple of girls have heard of me and seen my work before we even got to meet.  Social media is really working!

Glad I went even though it was an 11-hour road trip to Pensacola and back to Jacksonville.  I had a great time connecting with Gwen and Ginger during the trip.  We even did a mini fun session just to kill time right before the workshop started.  Thank you, ladies, for a great time!

P.S. - The first three pictures just show that I am a jumping-shot addict :)

Lastly, the goodies they gave away were delicious!  I was in heaven when I ate the brownie pop!
