The first round of competition for the 2010 season was November 10, 2009. I did very well with my entries. Here are two of them for you to see. I received the Best of Category award for the fisherman and blue ribbons on 3 of my entries with a red ribbon on the 4th.

The Soloist

Christopher and his trumpet was my highest scoring print from this round. When we worked on his senior portraits we decided to do some fun ones and this is what we got.

Fishing Georgia Style

The fisherman was from my trip to visit my aunt in Georgia in March. It was raining a bit but this fellow was still fishing.

The next round of competition isn’t until early spring.

I compete in local events as well as the ones just for professional photographers. Come in and see more winning images.

My Own Display Wall

The prints here are in the Open Class exhibit at Barry County Fair this week. I have 4 Blue ribbons (First Place) and 1 Red Ribbon (Second Place).

Christopher

Congrats Christopher! We do good work together.

Cadillac

In my travels, I took a train trip with friends and spied this quaint location. Buy this print after the fair!

Tents

This is part of a series of cards I am making. This one is to remind us that the body is a tent. We have more permanent things waiting for us. Buy note cards or this print! Watch for new designs in this series.

Wild Hare

The Bunny Sessions this spring were spectacular! This is one of the bunnies we had. Her name is Wild Hare because she looks like a wild bunny. She is actually quite friendly. Put your name on the list for Bunny Sessions 2010!

Ever After Banquet Hall, Hastings, Michigan

This photo of Ever After was taken as part of a birthday party that I photographed there last month. A beautiful location tucked in right here in Hastings. This birthday party was a lot of fun and the birthday person is only 70? young!!!
