TEDx New Albany was one of those events that kind of fell into place.  I knew the emcee, Dave Agler, and the first speaker, Shaun Young, and with their help I was to take pictures of an event for the first time since my days of The Lantern.  One thing led to another, which led to another, which led me to shooting the talk.

First, the most impressive aspect of TEDx New Albany was that it was a student run event by the students of New Albany High School.  Dave mentioned in a weekly mastermind how impressive the organization was, and he wasn’t kidding.  They were definitely in it to win it.

I know Dave from our mastermind tribe and Shaun from his work at Ardina (he wasn’t able to pimp Ardina during his talk, but the point of his talk was why he founded Ardina).  In addition our crew from ContentVia made an appearance to support Shaun.

TEDx New Albany was a tremendous experience for me, not only to have the pleasure of shooting the event but to view a TED talk.  I knew I wanted to be in attendance when I first learned of it.  You gain a new view of life and the theme from viewing the event.

I want to thank Sam Malik, Shaun Young, and David Agler again for setting me up with the opportunity.
