here in little rock

I’m just going to be honest – Geography was never my best subject. I probably couldn’t fill in a blank map of the United States if I had to. I do fine with my southern sister-states, but when we get out into the mid-west and the teeny states that make up New England, I’m lost. When I signed up for a workshop in Little Rock, Arkansas recently, I had to consult Google to set me straight. Don’t get me wrong – I had Arkansas down pat, it was the Little Rock part that threw me off.

Sadly, the only thing I know about Little Rock is that it was home to Bill Clinton before he was elected President, and Collin Raye had a song titled for the city back in the early nineties about a recovering alcoholic. Unfortunately, our short trip over to Little Rock probably won’t involve history museums and learning centers, but I’ll still try to bring back a few nuggets of knowledge for your inquiring minds.

Last night, Allen and I packed up the Jeep and made the six hour drive from Birmingham to Little Rock so that I could attend Becker’s “A Crash Course in Kicking Ass” photography workshop. I’m really excited about today and hope that I’ll bring back with me new ideas and fresh perspective for my business. I’m sure I’ll have tons to share with you about the trip as well.

For my fellow geography-challenged friends, here is a little illustration so you’ll know where to find me.

Melina - Leanne Womack also had a song about Little Rock, “I’m a little past Little Rock, further down the line…” Also, I’m so proud of you, and excited about your Becker workshop.September 17, 2009 – 10:30 pm

paige - oh the memories of little rock! Jeremy worked there while we were dating. If I could only put a star on your map of where I used to drive from on the weekends. Not to much to see, I sure hope they have fixed the frontage road situations up there….if not….good luck!!!September 17, 2009 – 6:07 pm

deb - I did not realize this was a Becker workshop! I’ll be anxious to hear if he is as egotistical in person as he seems on his blog/website. He is super talented so I guess as long as he is willing to share his knowledge, he can be however he chooses. Have fun!September 17, 2009 – 10:20 am

Jill - HEY GET BACK HERE! That’s way too far from me.September 17, 2009 – 8:36 am
