This is my story...

LUAN DOCARMO

Okay i don't know where to begin.....I guess i should start out by saying my name is Luan Docarmo, I'm 16, Born January 16, 95' I was originally born in Brazil. Moved to the states when i was 3 and haven't visited back ever since. I love photography, always did but i never had enough money to get a good camera so i would always shoot with a "point and shoot" camera. Im not complaining it was pretty fun, but then this past Christmas i got a camera, finally! So im currently shooting with a canon eos rebel xs, go Team Canon!! :) But some of the stuff i love to do, is like I've mentioned before i love photography, absolutely love sports all types basically except for baseball, i enjoy watching tv, love hanging out with friends, and of course i love girls (i am a teenager he he) And I'm proud to say that i love God and my family.

Yours truly,

Luan

Photo happenings in Atlanta, by: Robert Johnson

Great to fellowship with you all this week.

Whether you shoot Cannon, Nikon or Sony, here are a few photo happenings in Atlanta.

http://www.photojournalism.org/about/
The 2011 Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar will be held Dec. 2-3 at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North, 7 Concourse Parkway, Atlanta, GA.
The Seminar was founded in 1973 by a group of photojournalists representing newspapers, magazines and wire services. We seek to promote the highest standards of photojournalism through an annual educational conference and a photography contest judged by working photographers.

In case you missed this
ACP Photo Festival
Each October, Atlanta is transformed by over 150 photo-related exhibitions and events, including a core of ACP programs hosted by a diverse network of venues across the Atlanta metro area. The events held during our 2011 Festival will be listed in our Festival Guide the first week of September. The best way to get involved is to participate by enjoying as many events as you can, and by listing your event in the Festival Guide.
