Whisk Crepes Cafe

Y’all this post is sponsored by #CreativeLife and an I am sure excited about it.

She sends me a picture of a crepe. Imagine I can see her eyes water from across Texas and through the tiny screen that illuminates in my hand. She wants to know if we can visit again.

We walk in the tiny well-lit space. Julien is nowhere to be seen. I turn to Jeff and note how odd that is. I know they just opened I tell myself… but he’s always here. I’ve not seen him. Especially on a day like today, I think. Now, who will rag on me and make fun that I can’t pronounce my own name? Oh, well I decide. We sit and immediately began to yapper on about, life- the day- and what to order from the menu.

They’re runnin’ a little behind. It’s International Crepe Day. We expected as much on a day like today. We don’t mind. We both have time to kill. The time passes by as we chat on and wait to order. I pause as he catches my eye. He rushes into the tiny space with a tired smile. He immediately walks over to take our order. He looks at me and goes, "what's your name?" I replied, "no your gonna make fun of me like always!" He answers, "No I'll just correct you." I smile, all is right in the day. Now, I can enjoy my crepes content the tradition continues.

Delicious crepes now fill my belly as he walks back over. He wants to know if I remember some of the pictures that I took the last time I was in. “Yes,” I reply. I yammer on about how photography had become somewhat of a passion as of late and that anyone could take a picture of a plate of food or a restaurant. “I aim to tell the why behind the magic,” I explain. He nods in agreement as he walks over to help make crepes.

I finish my crepes and gather up my items but not before walkin’ over to the glass. Julien shakes his head in annoyance as the camera frames his face. I chuckle, knowin’ he will be the first to like and comment on the pics.

I focus the camera and…. SNAP!

As of late, I get asked a lot about my photography. What I shoot on, what got me into photography; you name it.
Lately, I’ve adopted more of a photojournalism style that I am to bring into everyday life.

As it stands right now, I’m sittin’ in a local coffee shop in Downtown Houston headed to El Paso. I’ve got a long train ride to El Paso and on the train, I plan on takin’ the photography class ‘Family Photography Photojournalism’ {http://mrgo.co/qe-65}. All the classes are in collaboration with #CreativeLife.  Here’s a link to the main page {http://mrgo.co/jbxvu } and all of the photography classes by experts they offer. There are 1500 classes from top photographers who know what it takes.

To follow along on my progress use the #CreativeLife. And better yet Y'all could take a class with me. If you take any classes, you get 20% off usin' my code ISHARE20. Y'all are always askin' my secret. Well, here it is. There is no secret. Just educatin' myself and workin' hard. I’ll be usin’ all the tips and tricks I learn about photography as many people and scenes as I can while down in El Paso this week.
