I logged in the first time 3 years ago to write a scathing review of an abysmal dining experience. Since that first review, I have written about the good, the bad, and the ugly all around me. I eventually became an elite member, after a nomination by one of my peers. Being elite is a reward of sorts....a reward for contributing your time and effort to this helpful and (mostly) honest database. (I say mostly because where there is the internet, a troll is sure to be.) Elite members of Yelp are able to enjoy all sorts of lovely parties, complete with sustenance, libations, laughs, and wonderful hosts and hostesses. I have seen galleries, party rooms, and private clubs that I would not have been able to experience otherwise. I have tried bizarre food and drink, received bags of swag, handfuls of chocolates, an entire pie (ask Charlie about that one) and countless interesting conversations with other Yelpers.
So, why is this on my photography site?
Because I was asked to photograph some suburban elite events, that's why! I am excited for a lot of reasons. First, I will get to meet more people. I am terrible with names, though. I am "one of those" people that assign nicknames right away. Some people love it, some loathe it. Let's all hope I don't get punched on my first go, eh?
My first event is on Thursday, February 18th. If anyone needs me, I will be cleaning my lenses, charging my battery, and clearing off the SD card.
