I've been at camp in New York with JUUUUUST enough internet to check email if the wind was blowing in from the East just right. I will be rolling into Florida late tomorrow & will update this blog like woah soon enough. :) Hope all is well!

awesomeness



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:

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!
