Slam F'in Dunk! (TM) Positive, healthy inspiration with a killer cast of characters. Each Geekfest is so uniquely amazing. GF 2005 in Austin forever changed the way I approached photojournalism. Thanks, Melissa, for starting APAD. And to TBrown, for dragging me to that photo conference with a dorky name. I owe you both. Sol  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
