CNN Anchor in Grand Rapids...how cool is my job!

Last week CNN Anchor and author Gerri Willis came to Grand Rapids to speak to the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce during their 2008 Small Business Celebration Event. I had the opportunity to photograph Gerri before the event and she was a pleasure to work with. How great is my job - I am able to meet and photograph some of the most interesting people in GR!

Gerri was a great sport and very used to the camera being on her (obviously). But she was cracking jokes left and right and had the whole room laughing. My experience with people in media has not been very good recently, but Gerri definitely broke the mold and was a great person to be around on a Tuesday afternoon!
