WV Photographer of the Year

Just returned from the 2007 Professional Photographers of West Virginia 74th Annual Convention and Competition where I was named, for the third time, West Virgina Photographer of the Year. I was very honored, as we have a tremendous amount of talented photographers in our little state!!

"Inspiration" PPWV Best of Show

Maya Angelou

We cannot change the past,
but we can change our attitude toward it.

Uproot guilt and sow forgiveness.

Tear out arrogance and seed humility.

Banish hate
and in it's place plant love,

thereby, making the present comfortable
and the future promising.

Self Portrait

Spent some time in the studio today waiting on my subject . . . . so, I created a self-portrait.

I picked up some flowers at the grocery store to possibly shoot for competition. Here is a quick photo I took with Pat's point and shoot camera.
