Santa Monica, California

Santa Monica California is a nice place to be in December, temps in the mid 60's with abundant sun shine. The ferris wheel situated along the Santa Monica pier is a site along with the roller coaster and the rest of the activities. Sea Gulls are abundant and sat for their portraits.

Help Portrait Baltimore 4 Dec 2010

What a great day. Headed to Baltimore for the Help Portrait event again this year. Many familiar face both the staff that was taking the photos and assisting with hair, make-up, processing and printing to the folks that came in for their portraits. I want to point out the gentleman with the surgical cap on. The cap was created from portraits of his family that he had taken last year during the help portrait event.

A great big thanks to our sponsors that help make this a success: HP for printers, ink and paper, Chick-fil-A, BlackRapid Straps - they provided a great strap as a give away and I won it. Check out a sampling of the shots from the day.

Veterans Day Washington, DC 11 Nov 2010

I had the pleasure to attend many of the Veterans Day ceremonies in Washington, DC taking place at the memorials to our veterans. The wreath laying at the World Ward II memorial was very touching. Numerous WWII vets were in attendance and a special emphasis was given to the women that served in the second world war.

The Viet Nam and Korean memorials had abundant vets in attendance who were catching up with comrades and more than willing to share a story or two. The Viet Nam Women’s Memorial was truly inspiring with women that served in country telling their story as part of a living history program.

The photos below are just a sampling of the ceremonies and sites on the Mall.
