Teri’s birthday was on the September 12th and your anniversary was last month. Over our 23 years of marriage we like to get away and go to the town of Cambria. It is a little fun place. We get a chance to walk the beach, visit the stores and shops. It is about four hours from the house. Did, I mention we like to eat, so much for the weight lost.

It was a real blessing to see one of my photos in the AV Press, my local newspaper. The picture ran on Sunday March 15th on page D2. I was in Florida at the time, and was told about it from a friend Rhonda know happen to see my name mentioned.

Portrait of my Hannah

Hannah is not a senior but she loves her picture taken. I set up my equipment in the garage and took a few of her. I had her turn, jump, and sway her hair. It was fun.

Senior Portrait – Jake Wade

Jake is so easy going. I know he would prefer not to sit (or stand) for these pictures. But he endures the event.

Jake Wade is not related to us, it is kinda of strange that I know three Wade families in our area.

I Took a Third Place

by douglaspaulwade on Feb.01, 2009, under Photography

Google Buzz

Since, I work a lot, I like to have a few hobbies. On of the those hobbies is photography. So, to help me with my photos, I joined the Lancaster Photography Association. I try to attend when I can. They meet once a month. They have a competition and there were over 200 photographs entered in all the levels and media (print, digital, slides). I enter three photos and one received a third place.

It is a humbling event. I often think my photographs are better then those that win, but I am trying to figure out what a contest like this wants, which is way different than the photos I want to take. They like puppies, kittens in a tree and birds on a stick. However, this meeting was very different. The level of photos was very good and the judge seemed to pick the better stuff.

This months theme, was “close-up”, you can see the results from the meeting.

Flower 1, Flower 2, Leaf- This image won third place and it was not my favorite.

AV Fair

This year, I entered three of my photographs. Of those two were flowers and last one was of trees. I managed to get two ribbons. One for second for Tulips and a Honorable Mention for “de-flowered” (another tulip). Below the photos and the how the looked on the walls at the fair. My favorite of the three photos did not win, trees and trails. I think it better, but not to the judges. I had it critiqued and someone told me that “brown” does not win. They may be correct.
