I'm normally behind the camera, and generally that's where I like to stay. Sometimes I forget what it takes for anyone to get in front of the camera, especially an older female. I sometimes forget to feel empathy because I just want my shot.

My SuperShoots HTL XI presentation went ok but not great. I talk too low when I get nervous. I had some positive and negative feedback which I learned from.
