We had a great time at the April Photo Safari at Fort McCleary. Great vistas of Portsmouth harbor from the Maine side. Here is New Castle Light. We had a wide variety of lighting situations from bright Sun, full shade, cloud and window light during a passing storm.

Back from Imaging USA

I had a very productive time , in Nashville, for the Imaging USA Convention of the Professional Photographers of America. I got to see many old friends, in the field, and make some new ones of the "up and coming" stars. Professional photography is going through an evolution and it was very educational to see the new trends and opportunities. Once again I volunteered on the Convention Committee and was honored with a "Meritorious Service Award".
