Congratulations to Jessica White Slorah!

CLICK HERE FOR GINNY'S COMMENTS
I am quoting Jessica White Slorah, with her permission, the response to my announcement that she won first prize: "Ginny, No way!!!!!!!!!!! It just proves that it doesn't matter what kind of camera you have. I have NEVER entered any photography contests, let alone won anything, and am completely tickled! Thank you for the fabulous prize. I can not wait! I have been dreaming of a great camera and great editing software for a few years now. And you have made half of that dream come true. Thanks again."

This email gave me such confidence about the essence of my book! It's not about your camera, never was! Don't you love it? It's not even about post-production, although that is fun and can undoubtedly make some incredible things happen (see second prize!).

It is all about seeing light and expression and composition!

Jessica will be receiving Adobe Lightroom as her first prize.

Happy New Year! Enter Our New Contest!

We have started a new contest on the Facebook Group, Photographing Children! The first prize is Adobe Lightroom! Secondary prizes will be awarded as well, including a year's membership to NAPP/Photoshopuser and textures/actions from JESSICA DROSSIN, NICOLE VAN, and SARAH CORNISH. Guess what else? A signed copy of my book, Photographing Children (see Amazon link to right)!

All you need to do is join the FACEBOOK GROUP and click on the first EVENT. You will be directed to the contest. In this group, we share our love and inspiration and learn to better our photography.

Ends January 31st.

Here is to a very peaceful, successful and inspired twenty-ten!
