the Avenues Exchange

Bitter. Sweet.

The 2 words that describe my feature in our local magazine, The Avenues Exchange. I was thrilled when I was contacted in April about being the Featured Artist of the Month. The article was great (written by Wendy Smith) and I’ve already received raves from all my neighbors who read it.

But, can you see the picture of me they put on the front cover.

Yes, that is me with my eyes closed. It doesn’t appear only on the cover, either. It’s right alongside the article as well. I sent them 5 of my images to give readers an idea for the kind of photography I do — I included a range of portraits, couples, kids, and wedding to show the full spectrum — but, they only thought it necessary to show that awful photo of me. Twice.

I found this very ironic, considering I am a photographer. Hopefully I will still create some buzz and maybe even get some awesome new clients :)

That’s the COVER?!? Bitter/sweet indeed. I’m excited for YOU but do they know what they’re doing? Yikes.

Was this back when you were blind? I find that strange, because you may want to use tinted glasses. Maybe that’s what others will think: that you are blind in real life. What a talented photographer? I guess you use the Force?

High 5, Esteisi, for being the first blind black female photographer!!!

Congratulations on being featured! Sorry they picked a poor photo to use. Crazy, didn’t the reporter take more than one. That’s what happens when the reporters take the pictures.

That is no good that they put that picture on the cover. Well you will get TONS of word of mouth business. You are an amazing photographer..and anyone who looks at your work can attest to that. I look forward to working with you for my wedding.
