1999 Rhonda's First Concert Flagler Museum |
I have been attending these concerts for over 18 years. Attending the first concert in 1999, I remember being so scared. I arrives just as it was starting and sat far back in the last row. After the last note, I ran out as fast as my heels would allow - Skipping the reception and champagne. My biggest fear was the event photographer. To my surprise in the next year's museum events catalog, there I was, sitting in the back.
As years progressed, I finally found enough courage to at least walk into the reception area. My biggest fear still was the event photographer. That is why the photo here is so special.
At this evening's concert I was presented with a photo from the previous concert taken by the event photographer. I really like it. At many events, photos are take - yet never seen. I want to thank the Museum for sharing this beautiful photo.
I am so happy I escaped my fear. What about you? Share your escape.
A very lovely pic Rhonda
