Ringin in the New Year @ Transitions!

fig media, one of the officials sponsors of the Wright Institute's conscious alternative New Year's Eve party, rocked Transitions Bookplace into the New Year! Megan Taylor and Jon Hood on DJ, Tobey Geise and Zack Redden video mixing music videos, live video and photographs, Melissa Martens on live video, Michele provided the flowers, James the emcee master, and yours truly, Lauren Pollock taking some kick ass photos!
I found out the night before New Years Eve that I would be the only photographer for the event. I was scared and excited all at once. It's a big job to cover an entire event solo! I had lots of support from the crew and had a blast!
It's pretty cool to see people's responses to seeing themselves up on screen and then coming to me asking me to take their pictures. I got lots of compliments, the crowd was energetic and so much fun!
Right before midnight, Judith Wright, one of the founders of the Wright Institute, spoke to the crowd. She said that the way you are at the turn of the New Year is most times an indicator to how you will be in the next year.
I freaked out at first--thought I had to figure out how I wanted to be or my New Year would be screwed! Instead, I surrounded myself with some great people, gave lots of hugs, then started shooting away! Looks like I'll be loved and loving while taking some killer photos in 2007! Watch out, here she comes!
