My hands are freezing! I just got in from Dyment’s for an escarpment shoot of the farm. I’m laughing now, but I really am not afraid to get dirty. I shot down low in a ditch, hiked up to high ground, rolled on some hay bails and some other icky stuff, went off roading in a car and popped out of my sunroof with the tripod to get the shot…seems to be my signature thus far. So much fun and such GREAT clients! I’m going to try some HDR and really hope they like the photos for the launch of their new cookbook.
OMG I just finished up a contest entry that took up a better half of a week-every hour on the hour. My social media frenzy was on Twitter, Facebook (personal & fan page), LinkedIn, Pinterest, Groups, Blogs, G+ and the list goes on. I tried to network & engage, but I feel that I was inundating people with my redundant requests. I really want to win the contest, but the work came at the expense of endless repetitive hours. I feel that I just press a lot of buttons sometimes and wait for a response. I am certain that the Google+ Photographers Conference in San Fransisco will get me on the right track to streamline my workflow.
YaY, we accomplished our goal to make the top 50! It is now up to the judges to choose a winner. The results will be announce on May 7th, 2012. A HUGE THANK YOU to my supporters Note: I know a lot of people couldn’t vote because they are not on Twitter or Facebook, but I am grateful for your encouragement:

A couple of days ago, I went to Jordan Historical Museum to photograph pioneer artifacts & games by the United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada. It was a full day program called “Strict or Nice” where children participate in the life of a child from 1908. The children were asked to dress as a pioneer in 1848. I made a period lunch to take to the Edwardian school house (Dry products, Food grown on my family farm, local food sources-No imported food, No preservatives, No plastic..) in a dinner pail-basket. The images will be in post processing for museum use and of course for the special lil’pioneers of Greensville School shortly.Time to get back to Work!
