Some down time with Family

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

It’s not all about work..all the time. The “off” time is so important to me! I don’t want to miss it! Luciana is growing up so quickly WOW! And look my 15 year old son Ryan is 6′3. He will be a High School sophomore this fall. My other daugther Danielle, who is 18 was working that day. She currently attends Syracuse University. Thanks Jana for capturing some family time. I appreciate you helping out.

Here is a shot my son captured at Zion. The actual print is rich in detail and depth! Photoshop work and printing was done by Jeff Reeder. Hard to see the detail(especially the passing jet) @72 dpi. WOW!, I am so proud of him and his new interest in photography! I am so excited that he “see’s” what he is shooting and is looking and composing before
he snaps the shot.

I just returned from out west with my family visiting several amazing places in Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. This trip followed a very informative and enjoyable time at the annual wppi convention in Las Vegas. Both Angelique and Jana attended the many educational workshops that were offered. Over 10,000 photographers from around the world got together to learn, share ideas and just have a great time in Vegas. We are so excited and inspired for the upcoming wedding season!
Ryan my son 14 , my daughter Luciana 5 had an amazing time. My other daughter Danielle 18 was not able to make the trip, she is attending college at Syacuse University The sights were just breathless, the weather beautiful(the air so clean and clear!) and the people of the southwest so warm and friendly. And yes, as I’m sure you expected I created several hundred photographs that I cannot wait to share with you. Keep checking back next week as I will be posting my favorites.

Jeff - Wow, I can't wait to see more.
