So, a couple of days ago I was asked to shoot the American Craft Council's American Craft Show at the Baltimore Convention Center. I typically prefer to shoot people rather than objects, landscapes and other inanimate objects. This is basically because, contrary to me being an introvert, I enjoy engaging my subject, I like feedback, and I love when they see their final images and are thrilled with how they look and feel great about themselves. In addition to this, I am also not typically a fan of crafts - I am more of a processed, manufactured, techie kind of guy. So, it shouldn't be any surprise that this was my first craft show.....but it certainly will NOT be my last - know why? Well, where else could you find......

In all seriousness - the show was great - there were loads of crafts - something for everyone. Missy really liked the scarves and the blown glass was probably my favorite (no joking here...for some reason I like blown glass).

Anyway - next time a craft show is in town, stop by - you never know what you'll find.
