I've been wandering through the maze of this new photography site by Zenfolio and am thrilled to find so many possibilities. Please share a link to the site with everyone - friends, family, strangers. I've been shooting for 20 years but have never attempted marketing, so many thanks to Carol Buttenham, marketing queen extraordinaire, who is going to tell me what to do. And because I've seen her successfully increase the clientele of other businesses, I will happily obey. 

      Had a busy weekend with two family portrait sessions and a five-hour shoot for Nashville's Ultra-marathon. Delightful Nashville photographer Stacey Irvin and I shoot the Ultra every year, and every year I get inspired to start running again. And TODAY I actually ran almost one mile!!!!

      The Nashville Ultra-Marathon, started by Dennis Freeman in 2008, offers four distances for runners: 50k, 60k, 70k and 80k (which translates into 50 miles. Yes. 50 miles.) Attendance this year: 189 runners from 24 states and Canada. Youngest runner was 11. Oldest runner was 77-year-old Eugene, whom I have enjoyed seeing every year, and who has run over 500 races of marathon distance or longer. When he crossed the finish line, I could hear him say above the cheering, "I only ran the 50k." Oh, well in that case....
