We Have a Winner!

For the winter 06 WPJA contest, I placed third in the food and drink category.



The Wedding Photojournalist Association accepts just 5% of those photographers who apply, and has photojournalists from across the globe. You can see all the contest winners at the WPJA Site. Grab a snack first...it's gorgeous image after gorgeous image...and you might find it hard to leave the computer!

...one of my personal projects right now. I am trying to move beyond environmental portraits in my home-decorating. My husband, now that man has the best taste in flowers. And he's great at getting me new ones regularly, I'm almost never without fresh flowers in the house. :)

The latest was the best. A quirky arrangement of salmon-pink Gladiolas bursting amid the spikey petals of these...dahlias? Not sure, but how I adore them. The glads died off about a week ago, these white huge lovelies are still reigning supreme. And making great subjects.



This first I like because of the warm tone, and the shy tilt of the head.



This is the kind of softness overall I want... LOVE it. I'm figuring big-- 60" on the largest side-- on a canvas gallery wrap. Mmmm...
