Best of Aruba - Day One

Visiting Aruba a few weeks ago was the perfect opportunity to shoot. So, here's what I came up with from just day one. Feedback welcome! More to come!

Hello! I'm so sorry I've been gone for so long! But I plan on having lots of posts and updates in the next few days to catch you up with what I've been up to! :)

First up? I finally got one of my new camera's. A little pocket camera with a big bang. I love the 14.7 mega pixels and a lot of the manual functions. Still learning about it but I will have some shots from it in the next few posts!

PUG Meeting with Denis Reggie

Wow! I had the lucky fortune to attend a workshop by Denis Reggie. Who is, if you don't already know an AMAZING Photographer and practically gave birth to the photojournalism style of wedding photography. Check out his work: www.denisreggie.net

It took place Wednesday night at the Wesleyan Hills Barns, a lovely rustic reception place. The group of photographers: PUG or Pictage Users Group all gather monthly and now that I've attended a meeting I am an official PUG member, I'm excited. I really gathered a lot out of the seminar and can't wait to shoot my next event!

It was also nice seeing Steve Depino and a big Thanks to my friend Tina Parsadanov for giving me the heads up and invite to this great workshop!

Dead Camera

I'm sad to report that my pocket camera, which I've kept on my at all times for the past 4 years is dead :( It was a great little camera and I captured some great shots with it.

Sorry to replace you so soon little camera, but my new Canon 990 is on it's way, followed by my Mark II, heh...

"ReminderNews received unprecedented recognition for a great job on the Tolland Chamber of Commerce's Annual Report at the chamber's Annual Meeting this morning.
We were the first member recognized during the presentation, and I also received a tremendous number of compliments from board members and members-at-large before the meeting on both the overall look as well as the excellent number of advertisers.
Special thanks to Amy Abo for the colorful cover design and pagination."
