The Presidents Photographer took my picture!

I was asked to get a professional picture taken and they sent out a John Lill from Seattle.

I enjoy finding out about people so I started asking him about how he got his start in Photography.  Senior Class Picture Intern when he was in high school.  Enlisted in the Navy, became a photographer in the Navy and became friends with the admiral and the admiral recommended him for his next tour of duty... The white house !   He served 1 1/2 years with Bush and 1 1/2 years with Obama.  He was the guy that just hung out with the president day in and out taking around 5,000 pictures a day............. and he is taking my picture! 

John has great eye ( you should see the pictures he does of rock stars!)  If you ever have a need for some photography... he not only does head shots, but weddings etc. He takes great pictures but has a rich history to talk about.  I had a really fun photo session  considering i was really dreading it.

4-H Small Business.... something New

Did you ever participate in any of those youth groups?   Campfire Girls ? Boy scouts ? 4-H?

Well now 4- H is supporting all us old alumni by letting us participate in their small business products.   They are not only supporting the 4-H branded items but helping us get our products out to the public.  

I learned so much thru 4-H.   Doing  many demonstrations and participating in the many public speaking contests,  has really helped me thru school and the many jobs I have had in my adult life.   I learned so much about the skills it takes for daily living, money management, nutrition, cooking, sewing, photography, animals and art kept me engaged and active during my teenage years.  I am a big fan of 4-H and I am so glad that it is alive and going strong.  If you have had a great experience as a child please support these types of youth groups.
