6 September 2009 Photo(s): Our State Fair Is A Great State Fair

We finally made it to the NY State Fair today. It was a gorgeous day weather wise, a fun day spent with friends and a proud day as I got to see my photo that won 3rd place at the fair. We got there bright and early and wandered through the pavilions checking out the animals, food, rides, people. We came upon a long line and when we saw a couple of the actors from The Office, my friend said I can't believe they are here. I told him they only live in Scranton! : )

12 April 2009 Photo: Peep Show

OK so this is not the best example of photography, but I could not let the yearly CNY Diorama Contest go by without a shout out to the Peeps. I look forward to this every year, well it's only the third year running but still I wait with anticipation. It brings me back to my childhood when making dioramas was the best class project ever and I was good at it!

This year's winner in Syracuse was call St Baldpeeps Day which was based on St Baldrick's Foundation. St Baldrick's Foundation (http://www.stbaldricks.org/) is an organization to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer. It's great cause with events that run all over the country. Check it out!

22 February 2009 Photo: Honorable Mention

When I was in high school, the yearbook advisor entered one of my photos into our town photo contest. My photo was titled "Beach Fronds" and it won honorable mention. I was passing by these on the way home from the gym today and it reminded me of my photo so many years ago only these were dusted with snow and not near the ocean.
