I attended the February Austin Photographer’s Group meeting and felt it was a great opportunity to meet fellow creative types of all skill levels. The best part of the evening was Amy’s presentation on Portfolios. I was able to meet a few people I feel I can become friends with and share a goal of becoming a better artist.
