YOUR FAVORITE PHOTO





We all have a photo that is really near and dear to us for one reason or another. This is my favorite photo cause it just cracks me up! [It's my wallpaper on my laptop] I love that it is this beautiful scene of an historic landmark... but then it is silly. :) sums up my style I think.
So by now you have PROBABLY already pictured your favorite photo you've taken. [you know you have] Track it down and send it to:
jovee@joveephotography.com
May your week be full of all sorts of new favorite photos!

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing...

Ahh, I love the sound of live jazz! It draws you in and makes your soul dance. It got the privilege to enjoy & photograph the Keene State jazz band reunion in Keene, NH. Man can they jam! Don Baldini conducts the jazz ensemble there and called the shots for most of the open jam session. A good time was certainly had by all! Can't wait til next year!
