TONIGHT — Mary Virginia Swanson in Portland

I’ve worked with Mary Virginia Swanson in different capacities over the past couple years and have always been impressed by her devotion to photographers and our relationship to the industry as a whole — from art to editorial to everywhere in between. Swanee volunteers on behalf of Blue Earth Alliance and other organizations, offering a unique perspective and a lifetime of wisdom on how to survive and thrive as a photographer. And she’s in Portland today!
