Can you believe it another blog post so soon. What has gotten into me?
I wanted to tell you about an upcoming photographic event called Click 646. On October 16 and 17th Greenwood, South Carolna will play host to a photographic celebration. For two days the small town will be turned into a celebration of all things photographic. Four wonderful photographers, Christina Mittermeier, Joyce Tenneson, Keith Cardwell and Jon Holloway will be on hand for lectures as well as a student exhibition and a juried photography contest. You can find out more information by going to www.Click646.com to see the schedule, learn more about the photographers and buy tickets.
I had three photographs selected for the contest. The first picture is from the "Bench by the road" memorial by the Toni Morrison society to recognize the enslaved Africans who came to America and those that perished on the trip. The second photo is a bad chicken and the third photo is from the Grand American, a coonhound event in Orangeburg. A cash prize will be awarded to the winners of the contest so wish me luck!
Ok, so perhaps local large animal vet Doctor Mike and his family are not really cowboys, but let me tell you that family looks like it was born on horseback. The good doctor and his three girls are not only wonderful riders, it is easy to tell they are a family that truly enjoys each other. Always laughing and teasing each other it was one of the easiest and most fun jobs I've had in a long time.
We did a little more dressy session and then we got to play with the horses. I'll be honest, I've met a lot of family pets; dogs, cats, parrots and such but the horses were great. Although they have a little difficulty taking direction.
Dr. Lisa Holland is a local licensed marriage and family therapist with a PH.D in psychology and she is the founder of HollandHeart. She specializes in working with folks who are struggling with illness and stressful emotions that affect their hearts. She is working on updating her website and needed some new headshots and since she is often called on to be a speaker, she need photos that she could send out. I was delighted when she called and we decided that not only would we do some headshot but also a more environmental photo too. Here are the results.

So for the last few weeks I have been without website or blog thanks to some hackers. But I'm back and ready to rock and roll!!
The following pictures are from two stories that I photographed that are in the August issue of the Lake Murray Magazine. The first story is by Kay Gordon, a fantastic writer who wrote about the loss and new arrival of her dogs. I'm a bit partial here, because Kay has Australian Shepherds, perhaps my all time favorite dog. So I got to hang out with Kay and her dog Maggie as they graduated from doggie obedience class at Pet Smart.
The second story is about a great group of women in Columbia who for the last few years have been getting together at each others homes to try out new recipes. Talk about fun and fellowship.
