Young Americans

January 9, 2011

Last night I got the pleasure of seeing the Young Americans perform at the Ironwood Country Club in Palm Desert, CA. What an amazing group of talented individuals. It was a night filled with singing, instruments, and dancing.

The Young Americans were founded in 1962 in Hollywood. They are a group of about 200 students that use their talent to support music in schools through “International Music Outreach Workshops.” These workshops gives students the experiences and tools needed to enhance individual and personal growth and understanding.

If you ever get a chance to see them perform it is definitely a show you should not miss! Thank you for a great time to the Young Americans who were involved in last night’s show.

Here is a quick photo, from my cell, from last night’s Lion King number.

My path here wasn't exactly straight, and I think that's what makes it worth telling.

I wasn't supposed to be a photographer. I was supposed to become a doctor. Neurobiology premed, on track, until my oldest son was diagnosed with epilepsy and life took a hard U-turn. I took a break and enrolled in photography classes I had always wanted to take but never could as a premed. On day two I knew. This was where I was supposed to be. Funny thing is, that analytical, detail-oriented part of me never left. It just shows up differently now, in the way I plan every session, read the light, and pay attention to the moments most people miss. I finished my degree in a year and a half, started my business the following October, and sixteen years later I still believe this is the gift God gave me to give to others. And I don't take that lightly.
