My Gobrunch Experience

My experience in the two events held on gobrunch was a wonderful one. The first day was confusing, trying to understand how to switch between communities of interest and for the first day, I didn't grasp much, except the fact that gobrunch was created to bring together a community of interest. Every other thing I learned was on the day two and this was from Timebenders room and Luma room

In the timebenders' room, Peggy, the host, talked about her experience as a headshot photographer, her love for photography, inspiration, and what she had learned in the process of her career. Her detail made me see photography in a different sense. Mrs. Peggy was 8 when she started to hold cameras , but joined photography at age 19. In the beginning, she took photos of events, children, etc. Then soon switched to headshot photography for two reasons; was concerned about capturing people's emotions, and other photography became too common. It was through her career that the idea to create the gobrunch community was built, and soon it became bigger than she had expected. Her advice is, go for your passion, give room for growth and learning, be specific about your goal and you'll attract the right people.

After the session with mrs. Peggy, I joined the Lu ma room where the presenter talked about the luma site for creating events and how one can reschedule an event. He shared with me a site where I can create events easily and provided an email where I can reach him in case I have any question or difficulty.

These are the things I was able to learn

1. Our passion paves a way for us.
2. As long as we are determined, we attract others. This was the same was Mrs. Peggy
3. Understanding people in our career is a key to success. The headshot photography helped Mrs. Peggy understand this better.
4. I learned of the Luma site where I can create events easily.

The two day event was a success for me. On the second day , hearing from the story of the host, made me see photography and career entirely in a different sense.
