Yesterday I took Carin to Calumet to purchase some studio lighting. I purchased the Calumet Travelite 1500ws Two-Head Umbrella Kit and 24 X 32 soft box. I was able to play around with it a little and here is what I came up with.
Carin's allergies were killing her so she was not wanting to be the model.

At my camera club on monday night, we had another print competion. I had entered 2 images. (Both of them were from the wedding workshop that I took in November.) The judge, Sarah Musumeci, and she loved the prints.
This iamge below scored a 12 out of a possible 15. While it did not win an award, it almost did.
While this image below also scored a 12 out of 15, it won an honorable mention.
I also was able to get another HM award that I won back in October. (12 points out of 15)
I have been busy cleaning up my basement to make room for a portrait studio. I have so many boxes that I have been going through. I cannot believe how nice the space is looking.
One thing that I did find was an old picture of my dog Buttons.
My brother Austin took this image over 20 years ago. Buttons, when she was younger use to "chase" away the UPS truck in the neighborhood. She also loved exploring the woods behind my house. I miss the old girl.
I had a lovely Christmas with my family. Carin was so happy with her gifts.

I have been very busy the last two weeks. The Friday after Thanksgiving, I went to my 20th high school reunion. (SIC) I saw a lot of old classmates. It was nice. I am happy to make some old contacts! My family came over for brunch the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Saturday I went into Boston and took some pictures. Here is a couple of my favorites.
The custom house picture above is something that I took back in July 2006 and wanted to retake the same image. I am happy with the results. (It took me forever to find the exact spot I took the original.)
That afternoon, we went to the local shelter to get my daughter Carin use to the idea of getting a doggie. Carin is scared of dogs b/c when she was little, a small dog jumped up on her and licked her all over her face. (She loved dogs until that point.) Needless to say, we did not purchase a dog, put we purchased a cat. He is black and white.
Carin named him Kevin after one of the signers from the Jonas Brothers. I wanted to name him Scratchy from the Simpson's but no one agreed with me. Kevin is still getting use to the house and us.
