Across the Atlantic ... to see Family

TO A CHILD DANCING IN THE WIND

DANCE there upon the shore;
What need have you to care
For wind or water's roar?
And tumble out your hair
That the salt drops have wet;
Being young you have not known
The fool's triumph, nor yet
Love lost as soon as won,
Nor the best labourer dead
And all the sheaves to bind.
What need have you to dread
The monstrous crying of wind?

W. B. Yeats (1865-1939)

Ho ho ho

The Trip family is blessed with a grandmother that loves to make costumes. When she comes to the studio it is always with multiple changes of clothes, most of which she has made herself. This year her snowman and Santa warmed my heart. Enjoy and Happy Holidays.

Happy Holidays

"I always know that it is the Christmas season when I have the opportunity to photograph the Federico children. I have now taken their Christmas photo for 3 years and the mom is very organized. She always plans for her children’s pictures to be done the Saturday after Thanksgiving for her Christmas card.
I try each year to do something a little different. This year I played with the simplicity of the white lights. It highlights the innocents of the children. The candy canes made for some fun at the end of the session. We all had a great time and the family was very happy."



Judy will be photographing another couple of families over the weekend so she left the lights up and her living room has been turned into a photo studio.

Website overhaul long due

I finally got around to updating our website CreativeMomentz.com. I put some newer photographs up and made sure that there are 12 samples for each category - it looks a bit more rounded now.

All the contact information stayed the same - Judy and Silke can both be reached at the old phone numbers and email addresses.

Water's Edge

You might remember that I announced back in July how proud I was to have been juried into a Book Competition of Photography, Poetry and Prose called Water's Edge.

Now all the poetry and prose for the book have been chosen, and a complete list of artists has been published on the Open to Interpretation website.

The suspense is almost too much ... for me anyway. As I can see the names of writers who were inspired by Peggy's Cove ... but I cannot read what they have written. I don't even know if it is poetry or prose. I can't wait to see the book. Release date is Mid-January 2012.

Stay tuned ...
