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...

Feedback

Throughout my experience I've gotten a number of compliments for my work, design services and/or photography. I feel compelled to share them on my blog.


"Thank You Amy, It is a true testament to you that you too were willing to invest to attend the conference. Over the years, I have learned much from other people in our field. I rate it as a valuable resource and have lifelong friends and mentors from these conferences. I saw that you were always communicating with other people from other papers and it impressed me. I'm so happy that you found the experience worthwhile."

"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."
