Photography is the theme of this week's episode, and I'm thrilled to spotlight a gentleman who has thrived in this capacity for over three decades!! Introducing Mr. Darrin Phegley, who proudly served for 17 years as a photographer with the Henderson Gleaner before striking out on his own. He now owns a booming business known as "Darrin Phegley - Capturing Life", in which he assists corporate organizations, nonprofits, and other agencies in visually sharing their stories. Tune in as Darrin offers compelling stories of his work in the newspaper industry, and describes the inspiration behind his business. He also explains the means by which we can put his expertise to work for us, many of which we've likely not even considered! Finally, he extends advice to the photographers of tomorrow based on his abundance of experience.
