Louisville PUG: Thanks for a Great Visit!





Rachel and I had fun tonight with the Louisville PUG group, hosted by the extraordinary (and poetic) Angela Anderson. Thanks to everyone who came to hear about LaCour and ShootQ!

Angela treated us to dinner at Proof, the swanky bistro-bar at 21c Museum Hotel. This place is a hip and modern amalgamation of art museum, hotel, bar and restaurant. Its rotating collection of art belongs to a private collector and is both quirky and inspiring. One of Rachel's favorite photographers, Bill Henson, has a piece hanging in the main lobby area.

At the museum, I discovered a Norwegian photographer named Simen Johan, whose fresh take on wildlife photography was captivating.



At dinner, I had the opportunity to talk extensively with ShootQ member Kitty Maer. Kitty told me about her firsthand experience using ShootQ. I value opportunities to sit down with ShootQ users and hear what they like and don't like about ShootQ. There is nothing more valuable when designing software than user feedback so we can improve! One commonality that I've observed between software and photography is that growing and improving is a journey. True success is found in perseverance and commitment to constant improvement!

Thanks Louisville PUG members for sharing your time and ideas with us!
