Invest in somebody who will make the most of it

Send me to Escalate 2010 … I am wordy, hahaha, so that should earn me some points. 
Plus, I am not nominating myself, but a very dear friend. Please read my note for the reasons why. Thank you!
Why should I go to Escalate? Why do I deserve a scholarship? I don’t. Shocked that I would say something like that? You shouldn’t be – I’m not a photographer. Nope, I have never touched a camera before, actually. Not a “real” one at least. Why am I writing this, you ask? Oh, yeah, sorry . . . I got distracted from the task at hand (that happens to me sometimes). I am writing about a photographer that truly deserves to be at Escalate 2010. Her name? Kimberly Towe, from Kimberly Nichole Photography Have you heard of her? Oh, I’m sorry – I would love to introduce you to her. She is a fantastic woman with genuine fire and passion for her work.
