For those who might be new to my blog, I am based in the Columbia Basin of Washington state. I love using natural light to capture agriculture, flowers, and the world around me. I also do portrait and pet photography, as the occasion arises.

Ain’t life grand?

September 13, 2009

[mbs slideshow=1 width="950"]

 (This is a slideshow, hover your mouse over the bottom of the image for the controls.  Open up to full screen – awesome!)

 

And busy!!  I’ve tried to get some blog visits in, but the last few days have been pretty busy.  I’m working on a client’s order and designing some holiday card templates.  Plus this weekend is our local Fall Festival, where I entered some photography and two of my glass pieces in the art show.  I was fortunate enough to win the blue ribbon for my horse sunset (minus the framing I added) and my two glass pieces were awarded the blue and red ribbons.  Yay me!

The participating artists are asked to man a one-hour shift to make sure the art work doesn’t walk away in the wrong hands.  The person relieving me happened to be a photographer, as well — a retired portrait photographer by trade, and he got a red ribbon for one of his entries.  We talked quite a bit and he was very generous in his compliments on my work, which really made me feel pretty dang good, I have to say.

More blog visits to come today.  I promise!

[Edit to add]  Oops!  I just realized I already used that detail shot on the mosaic post.  Sorry!

    Hi Toni, Congratulations on your winnings! It is always ice when others reward you for efforts.
    Beautiful detail on this wedding dress, it could almost mirror cake icing. Have a great relaxing day!

    Congrats on winning the ribbons at the fair.

    Looks like this was a really pretty wedding and I love the shots of the boys as the look like they belong to the secret service in their suits and sunnies.

    Toni, these photos are awesome!!! I don’t know how the other photographer did, but it makes me feel good that we at least have the great shots you’ve done. It’s so weird to see the photos because the day was such a blur. It’s like seeing it for the first time from a different perspective. Thank you so much for doing this!

    Loves!
