Austin Chamber of Commerce New Member’s Orientation

I went to the Austin Chamber of Commerce New Member’s Orientation for the first time this week, even though we’ve been members for many years now. I took our new Nikon D3S with me. It turned into a great conversation starter as I first took their picture and then introduced myself, “Hi, my name is Charles… who are you?” Needless to say, it worked pretty well. I met several great people and made many good contacts. Having a camera in my hand and wearing my photographer’s vest made it clear and obvious that I was a photographer. It worked so well that we booked one job, got a hot lead on some business head shots, and made a really good connection with a large venue in town…. just for starters. I highly recommend networking and the Austin Chamber of Commerce.
Thanks to Schlotzskys and Delish for providing awesome sandwiches and desserts!
