It all started over a simple obsession with her newspaper earrings. Me being a total nerd about all things media/journalism/earrings the conversation of course progressed from there, and reached full on fan girl 12 minutes in, when I discovered that Nadege was a journalist for WLRN our local NPR station. I'm sure I made a dorky first impression in all kinds of ways, but luckily it didn't turn Nadege off from offering me all of her contact information and staying in touch. She offered advice and years worth of wisdom just in the short period of time that i've known her. I'm not even sure she'll ever know how uplifting that first talk was for me. I don't have to aspire to be a photojournalist, I can actually be one.
Thank you, Nadege!
