Simply stated, creativeLIVE has been and continues to be the single most powerful influence of my photographic evolution. I have never been more positively affected by any educational organization. From the workshops I’ve watched, to the instructors I’ve met, and from the online community, to that extraordinary collection of techs, pros and creatives that make all of creativeLIVE’s magic happen—I am more grateful than I can ever say for my own amazing creativeLIVE experience.
The story of how I actually found my way to being one of creativeLIVE’s chat room moderators is certainly unusual. As fate would have it, all of my life’s schemes and routines were brought to an abrupt halt last September when a car struck me in a marked crosswalk, fracturing my leg. I was sent home from the hospital on crutches with a toe-to- hip cast and prescriptions for an assortment of top-shelf pharmaceuticals. Suddenly, I found myself isolated and immobilized. My world had been reduced to the limits of my two-bedroom apartment and my Internet connection. And there was no discernible end in sight.
