Photography Show Update

The Through the Lens show this past weekend was first class. One of the best ever in this area.
..so I am told.

I was not fortunate enough to win anything, but was still very honored to have my two pictures in the gallery for the weekend. The winners were very derserving and were fantastic photographs.

Overall it was a great experience for me. It also allowed me to use my mat cutting and frame making skills.

The next show is the Motionality showe in Dawsonville. I deliver my two pictures next week for that event. The show starts around the middle of October and runs through sometime in November. I will post more details as I have them just in case anyone wants to attend.

Photography for Feed the Children

This past weekend I attended the 2nd Annual Southeast StarBQ in Lumberton, NC. This is an even held annually by Star Touring and Riding. As a member of this motorcylce riding group, I participate in several events through out the year. I am the vice president of the Atlanta chapter.

This year for the StarBQ I was asked if I would be willing ot come and take bike photos. We agreed on $10 per picture with monies going ot the primary charity of STAR which is Feed the Children.

For the event I decided to try a green screen with several backgrounds. This was something I had never done before, but figured I would give it a try.

To make a long story short, it was a great success. I went hoping to do maybe 20 pictures and contribute the entire $300 to the charity. I underestimated. By days end I had printed 40 picture and at the end of the day was able to donate the proceeds of the day in the form of a check for $400 to the local STAR chapter and Feed the Children.

It was great. I had fun doing the event. I suceeded beyond my wildest dreams and helped a charity I really believe in.

In the next couple of days I will post a few of the pictures I took, just to show a sample of what I did.

Motionality Photo Contest

Well I just found out that two out of three of my submissions for the Motionality Photo show have been juried into the show. I am actually quite suprised. I was hoping for one.

The two selected were Night Rider and Carousel Ride.

The show will be in Dawsonville, GA sometime in October. I'll post dates and times once I know them so that anyone local can attend if so desired
