Going to the Dogs?

Hello Foto Fans!

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to cover an event for WAAGR! What is WAAGR you ask? Well, the Wisconsin Adopt a Golden Retriever Group of course!

Their goal is to provide a new home for displaced puppies and dogs. Mind you, a Retriever "puppy" is pretty much all DOG to me!! Nevertheless, I was greeted by 6 happy tails and sweet eyes as these friends, on two legs and four, worked to celebrate the holidays. In other words, raising funds for their efforts, while finding a home for the extra guests with fur.

Opportunities continue to present themselves for me to capture the activities for events around town. I truly enjoy the moments of meeting new people and the exploration of different parts of the city; even when I do get lost using my GPS! Here's a thought.. if YOU want to practice shooting events, pick up your camera at the next family get together. I promise you will have PLENTY of material to shoot!!

Busy Little Bee!

The past two weekends have been very busy for this "Shutter Bug!" The last weekend of September included a small wedding for an older couple. It was a fun shoot! Both the wedding and the reception were in the same location. The attendants sat at the tables, as the bridal party walked through. Needless to say, tables were a new obstacle to overcome, but no bruises. Here is one of my favorite images from the day! I am currently in the process of finishing the edits of their big day. Over 600 pictures to choose from... I can't wait to share the final product with them.

Last weekend, if you recall, I was a participant in the 2009 Riverwest Artwalk. It was a COLD two days at the "Feed Shop Studio," with two fellow photographers, Claire and Amy. I am happy to report; I have a new collector of my work. My mixed media panels sold on the first day! My "Affection is Defined As..." pieces are still available for view through November 7th at the Jazz Gallery.

Tomorrow, I am meeting with one of mentors. I am looking forward to sharing copies of a recent project....
