{Please Forgive Me}

Tonight I realized something horrible about myself!

I have no blog etiquette.  Maybe they have some classes I can take.  It all started today when I was on The [B] School, which is basically the most wonderful photography social network.  One of the forum discussions was talking about leaving blog love through comments.  I entered my blog… sooooo excited to get comments… what I dream of… and then as I sat daydreaming about all the people who would soon read my blog and fall in love with it… I had an epiphany that hit me like a ton of bricks.  I NEVER leave comments.  Ahhhh…. I panicked.  I read about 20 blogs a day, maybe more and I don’t EVER comment.  So everyday I have been rushing home to check for comments.  I look and think Boo, not any today.  Until this afternoon, I never thought about how I could be encouraging to other photographers.  So tonight I turned over a new leaf and took some time to look at some new blogs and comment on them!  Yippee!  Okay, I have to be honest, I thought about commenting and then I looked on my page and saw that two new people left me Blog Love!  It may be shallow, but seriously ever blog and photographer needs some love and attention every now and then!

Since I needed some images for this post, I thought it would be perfect to show three of my FAVORITE bloggers, who I had the pleasure of meeting at WPPI.

First, the amazing Jessica Claire.

Jessica hasn’t been blogging as much – which make me sad! So Jessica if you are reading this – Hi and please blog more!

And the one and only Becker (so cool he even has his own shirt) and the FaBuLoUs Jasmine Star!

If [B] and Jasmine are reading this – Wow, I guess I need to get to bed I am getting delusional -

[B] – love my headshot, you rock!

Jasmine – Thank you for writing the most beautiful and honest posts!

{UPDATE } – JASMINE WROTE ME A COMMENT AND LEFT ME A NOTE ON FACEBOOK! I THINK I AM HYPERVENTILATING!

{UPDATE 2} – JESSICA CLAIRE LEFT A COMMENT! AHHHHH!
