We had another meeting this week. I got a chance to learn more about the places we'll be taking photos. Roots of Music, Cafe Reconcile, Franklin Avenue Baptist Church, and Embassy Suites (our hotel). Roots of music is serious business! They practice for hours a day, tutor the kids, feed and transport them. If you're can't fall in line, you're going to do push ups. But, I liked what someone in the group said. Because of this program these kids will grow up to be more than they would have been otherwise. Cafe Reconcile was put in the middle of a neighborhood where the drug dealers and prostitutes didn't want any business to come. They even burned down buildings to stop the progress. They didn't mind having a place for food though, so they started this restaurant to train people in the culinary arts and restaurant industry. I'll try to post some videos from each under the partners section.
You might wonder what we're doing with the hotel. Well, in an effort to thank them for their hospitality we'll be passing out cards all week to hotel staff. They can come to a free photo session at the end of the week with their families and get their portraits done too! Just trying to show some love.
We also got to see the photo setup. There were words and phrases thrown around that I have never heard and certainly don't understand. But, a girl can learn.
