Today is “World Photography Day”! It’s the day where you should be proud to be a photographer. The day that you can tell yourself, it’s a holiday all about what YOU do. Be proud that you’re a photographer!
Do you remember the day you picked up your first camera? For me (Stephen), today is (give or take) a few days off of when I first picked up my camera 4 years ago and shot film. It was an old family camera passed down to me that at first I had no idea how to use it. Through practice, making it my focus in college and hundreds of rolls later… I’m still shooting digital & occasional film to this day. I’m so proud to be a photographer and you should be too!
In honor of World Photography Day, we wanted to celebrate two of our favorite things! Photography and ShootSac. If you’re not familiar with ShootSac… it’s a great & easy way to hold your lenses, wallet, cf cards, speedlights, snack and everything you’ll need for your shoot.
