Storytellers Series #2 – Borrow an Artist from Green Rice Gallery

The Storytellers podcast series goes to the Charlotte gallery scene for an artsy discussion.

Carla Garrison talks about her gallery’s wedding services, primarily the ‘Borrow an Artist’ program where an artist paints live at your wedding or event.

The Green Rice gallery is also open to hosting your special event in their 2400 square feet of meeting space amongst artist studios and fine art exhibits. (click for full info)

I’m sure you’ll see what fun and energy Carla brings to the gallery, I’m sure you’ll be pleased working with her whether you host your wedding at the gallery or she helps coordinate your artist borrowing!  Thanks for the great chat Carla!  If you know of an interesting, artistic or notable vendor or wedding professional who would like to sit down with Neil and tell some stories…please nominate them in the comments!

Charlotte Bar Camp 2009

I had a blast meeting everyone at BarCamp CLT yesterday!

So many great ideas flying around and I’m sure what I picked up will improve my creativity and deployment of Make Light Real – my creative journal.  Thanks everyone for sharing!!  And a big thanks to Carlos of Area 15!!!!

I was able to give an ‘Avatar Reboot‘ to anyone who would step into my little photo booth.  You can download your free shot from Flickr on this link<–

Your headshot is free, and I appreciate the link love to http://makelovereal.netfriend me on Facebook – or Twitter!

Here’s the show!

Many of you ask what I do with the head shots, well I make business cards…

Click here to have your headshot made into full color 2 sided Business cards

A totally professional image on your business card has stopping power and makes you memorable to your business contacts – even if it’s only on the back side.  Out of all the business cards I was given at BarCamp only Jose’s card used a memorable image!

Many of you were asking if I photograph families and the answer is I sure do, mostly in a candid way.
