I spent all last weekend at the Professional Photographers of Massachusetts annual convention. It was in Plymouth, so I would just drive up early in the morning and drive home at night (by the 3rd day it was getting really hard to get out of bed!). I had a great time, and listened to wonderful and talented people speak on such things as portrait lighting, nature photography, marketing, digital workflow, and weddings.
The other part of the convention is the Print Competition. Professional Photographers submit prints that are judged by photographers from other states - some of them Master Photographers, and some are even nationally-known.
I finally got the nerve to enter for the first time this year and I'm happy to say I received one blue ribbon and 2 red ribbons! My blue ribbon print is of a Passion Flower and is titled "Exotic Beauty".In honor of this, I'm starting a new feature - "Photo of the Month". I'm going to post a new image every month that can be purchased in either 11x14 or 16x20 size, signed and matted. Subscribe to my email list to be notified of the Photo of the Month, or email me. Enjoy!
