Here’s a shot of baby Lennon in his ”Little Brother” shirt. Big brother Denney has a matching one that says “Big Brother”. Both are handsome little boys! Lennon and mom are home and doing fine now…..and I have a lot of photos of him to process!

My five year old granddaughter’s kindergarten teacher must be planning on a lot of sticky projects. The supply list states four bottles of glue for each child. Of course I know how quickly you can run out of glue if you have a lot of paper pieces, macaroni, or sparkly things to glue onto a project!
I liked the reflection of the glue bottle in the plastic on the notebook paper.

This little darling was one of the guest at a baby shower I attended today. I was trying to get her to model for me, but she couldn’t hold still that long – there were too many other things to be doing and too much going on!

In case you haven’t noticed, I realy like colorful things. Most most favorite color is purple, but not far behind are red and yellow. I bought some new yellow place mats this week. I thought it would be nice to get a shot of one of my red wine glasses with the placemat as the background. I have two of the glasses. They were a gift from a Secret Pal exchange I participated in several years ago and I rarely use them. They are red wine glasses made of red crystal. I know they are crystal because you can make them “sing” if you wet your finger and run it around the rim. This was my favorite of the shots I took. I like the contrast of the red on the yellow.

The past three days I’ve attended the Tennessee PPA spring seminar. I got to meet some new people and get reaquainted with some I met in the past. There were great sessions presented by my new friend Karen Goforth, and a tandem session by Jessica Vogel and Dave Huntsman. There were some other sessions, but these were the ones I enjoyed the most. There were many door prizes (I won a very nice picture frame!) and a couple of impromtu auctions of some donated items. One of the randomly auctioned items was this guy, a rubber chicken that sounded like a sick rooster. He went to the highest bidder for $45 dollars. The money went to the TNPPA scholarship fund. I can see how this guy would make kids laugh. He had everyone in the session laughing out loud!

One of the photographers I follow on Twitter is Dane Sanders (@danesanders). Dane had a Fast Track Photographer session at Imagining USA in January that I was able to attend. The seminar was on my birthday. Dane sent a tweet to his followers saying he thought he was being given the rookie treatment because his session was scheduled at 7:00 a.m. I replied back to him that I was having to get up at 5:00 a.m. on my birthday to make his 7:00 a.m. session. Well…Dane reads the replies to his tweets! As the seminar started, Dane asked where I was. He had me come to the front with him and then he had the whole group (about 600 people) sing Happy Birthday to me and gave me a copy of his Fast Track Photographer book! Needless to say that was a great way to start the day. I also had lots of people say Happy Birthday to me throughout the day – people I had never met but were in Dane’s session!
This weekend I read Fast Track Photographer and it is quite an inspiration. Several other photographers have told me that this book changed their life and their career. I am in the process of working through the pDNA exercises. What I am learning from this book is going to be instrumental in my future! Dane’s goal is to set you up to win! You can find out more about Dane at danesanders.com or fasttrackphotographer.com. Thanks Dane for all you do to inspire other photographers!
