Last week I applied for a press pass to Omaha Fashion week, thinking they would ghost me, and send me a cute rejection email, with them telling me to try again next year. Well shocker, they emailed me with a complimentary ticket and a map of the venue that explained where I needed to be.
I have never taken photos at a fashion show, I had no idea what to expect. Even though sometimes I feel like i have been behind a camera forever, there are so many lights, venues, and situations I have never been in. The uncertainty before an event gives me a rush of adrenaline, and the feeling of wanting to puke all at the same time. I feel like a certified crazy person when I show up early and am still frantically trying to get my settings figured out, running around like a chicken with my head cut off.
Thankfully, I made a friend, calmed my nerves, and did what I do best.
I think this is a inspirational message to try new things no matter how uncomfortable it makes you feel. I love fashion and I love creativity, after all the initial nerves settled I felt totally in my element. So even if you need to pregame cry in your car before doing something that scares the shit out of you, do it, because it makes you a stronger person.
