LUG:

If anybody is in the neighborhood (East of 
Charlotte, NC), you're welcome to drop in.  This 
is a LUG-related talk because Ken Lassiter met me 
on the LUG and wrote an article about my work for 
Photographer's Forum magazine.  Lex Youngman, 
photography professor at Wingate University, read 
the article and asked me to come and speak at 
Wingate about using photography to make a 
difference.  You never know where your LUG connections will take you!
