Grateful!

A few weeks ago I enrolled in a photography class at the Huntington Art League. I LOVE taking photography classes any chance I get and always enjoy meeting new people through my classes. Like Natalie.

While Natalie and I didn't get to spend all that much time together in class, we shared an avid love of photography and both talked about starting our own businesses. In discussing my interest in engagement photography (you can check out my website here... www.focusonjoyphotography.com ;-)), she mentioned a lens she had that she offered to let me borrow. Pretty amazing. I borrowed it for two weeks, took tons of pictures, and gave it back at the next class. When I told Natalie Jon and I were going on Safari, she insisted I borrow the lens for the entirety of our trip.

Ummmmm whhhaaatttt????

Yes, this girl I barely know offered to let me borrow a camera lens worth hundreds of dollars while I travel around the globe for 3 months, all with simply the promise that I will bring it back in excellent working condition.

In Spanish there's a phrase for people like Natalie - "buenaonda". It literally means "good wave", but it really just means a solidly good person. Natalie - you are buenaonda and I am BEYOND excited to use this lens on my trip. Also, this blog has already been read by several hundred people, so this is my promise to you that I will not skip town (past the end of March 2016, that is), with your Nikon Lens :-D.

THANK YOU!!
