I can't believe how long it has been since I posted to my blog! I should pay more attention here than to my Facebook page, but I do like the ability to connect with long lost friends on FB. It has been a busy year so far, photography wise. I am working as a free-lance photographer for the local newspaper, the Athens Banner-Herald, taking pictures at community events for their website "Spotted.onlineathens.com". I have also entered a couple of juried shows this year; the Georgia in Bloom show sponsored by the Madison Art Guild in Madison, Georgia and the Athens Photography Guild's 1st annual juried print show in Commerce, GA where I won third place! My Spotted work has been very rewarding as it gives me the opportunity to hone my skills and have my work published on a website for the world to see. Two of my pictures have been published in the printed paper to help bring attention to the online venue.
Certainly, I feel that I have grown a lot as a professional photographer and artist. I want to learn all I can and continue to develop this gift from God.
