After spending a week in Haiti and then flying directly to Vegas for this year’s WPPI convention & trade show, I have about a million things on my mind and many things to blog about. Haiti was a truly life-changing experience and I look forward to sharing images and stories when I am ready. For now I’m still mentally and emotionally processing everything that I’ve been through. So I figured I’d jump back in with something easy and just share some exciting news.
With some 3000 prints submitted for this year’s print competition, I was thrilled to be awarded 3rd place in the Bride & Groom Together category for this image of Emily and Andrew. Yay! It was beautifully printed by master printmaker, Jonathan Penney.
Although I attended few classes this year, I enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces, catching up with old friends and making some new ones. I very much look forward to next year. Perhaps I will even submit to teach a Master Class. If you are a photographer, what would you like to hear me speak about? Any comments and suggestions would be greatly helpful and appreciated.
Thank you!

Alright I’ve been reading Q&A’s from a bunch of my Twitter friends over the past week so I’ve decided to jump on the Ask Me Anything bandwagon. So feel free to go for it. See that little box in the sidebar on the left side of the screen? Go ahead and ask me stuff…it can be anything really and I will answer. Try to ask questions that I can answer in a sentence or two though. This is for fun, not an online workshop. :)

Happy Holidays to me! It’s been a long time since I’ve had a decent point-and-shoot camera…I mean a loooong time. I do have a half-broken 3 MP digital elph lying around somewhere but the image quality was always so lousy that I couldn’t even bare to have anything printed…and isn’t it sad to not have any pictures of the fun things you do in your life? And since I’m not one of those photographers who likes to lug around a big SLR & lenses everywhere I go, I decided it was finally time to get myself a new point-and-shoot. So as a holiday gift to me, I got myself a Canon G-10 from Samy’s…who definitely had the best deal around on this baby. Did you know that if you order online from Samy’s, everything is about 10% cheaper than in the store. Good to know, right?
So now I have a great camera that I can stick right in my purse and take with me everywhere. That’s what I thought anyway but it seems that the husband has hijacked it for the past week to take to tv shoots. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to steal it back from him so that I’ll be able to shoot images to share on this blog of regular life again. I do have some to post tomorrow about our little holiday trip to Palm Springs…
