Tonight I really wanted to go down and see President Clinton at Fisk University, but I didn't want to walk around that neighborhood by myself with my camera equipment, so I waited for my husband to get off work... When we arrived, there was no place to park, and the line to get into the gymnasium was down the street, around the corner, and across another street... hmmmmm I thought, "I HATE CROWDS..." so we drove around looking for someplace to park that was safe, and we drove around some more... then just as I was about to drive away and just forget it, we found a safe parking structure at the hospital across the street.
Anyway, by the time we walked out of the parking structure, there was no line and we walked right up and right in... what happened next... was my photographers luck...
A girl walked up to me, introduced herself and asked who I was with... I said, "I'm local," she proceeded to escort me to the riser for the press... I followed her, she lifted the line up for me to walk under and there I was with all the "official" photogs. This is not the first time my camera(s) have gotten me a front row seat. I LOVE my 1D Mark II, and of course my 70-200 2.8 L series lens!
So, here are a couple of the shots I created.
Sooo, the other night I had a "business" meeting at a local cafe... and after mentioning to those in attendance about my picture a day exercise, one of the guys at the meeting said I MUST see the men's room...

So here I am after working on this project for 11 years now, I am finally writing a business plan. Oh my gosh, what a project! The cobwebs of my forty-something year old brain have been lifted... I am truly enjoying the process. I am competing for $25,000 in cash and business services and lots of PR with thirty other businesses! The further I am into writing this puppy, the more I believe that I can win this hands down!
I heard yesterday that Johnny Grant, Hollywood Historical Trust Chairman died... I was really excited to get my picture taken with Johnny Grant during the unveiling of the Screen Actors Guild Hollywood Walk of Fame STAR ceremony. I'll admit, he didn't look as healthy as I had seen him over the years of my life as a California resident. A star on the walk-of-fame was always big news in southern California.
My friend Pervis (upper right) is a "Great Grandmother." She cares for four of her great grand sons... (from left to right bottom - Ben, Ethan, Chris, Cameron) she amazes me [Pervis was recently diagnosed with Emphysema]! She raised their mother (her grand daughter); now she's raising them...
