You’re lucky if you find a blog that you regularly enjoy. You’re double lucky if you have the opportunity to meet the person that writes that blog.

I had the pleasure of having dinner last night with someone I regularly view and read, Paul Lester of Paul Lester Photo.  I first began reading Paul’s Photo Blog several months ago and I now find myself returning there daily.  It was while reading some of his posts that I realized we only lived a short distance apart.  A few comment and email exchanges quickly arranged our meeting. 

It only takes a few moments of reading Paul”s blog or talking to him in person to recognize his genuinely love of photography.  Once you view some of his photo’s you can see that his love is often caught through his viewfinder.

Paul’s currently a software programmer who’s thinking of sharing his 20+ years of experience by teaching photography through classes, weekend seminars or workshops.  I think he would be great at teaching and hope to be able to participate in some of his classes in the “near” future.

Paul’s blog byline is “Life, Stop and take a look.”    He does, I will and I hope you do.  :-)

  1. Earl, I had a fantastic time, too! I couldn’t have asked for a better evening. I would like to be able to do it once or month or so.

    I’m looking forward to seeing you in ‘class’. :-)

  2. Paul, When you’re ready to do that class I’ll be there.

    Would enjoy getting together regularly.
