Happy 4th of July!

Finally!  The sun is out!  Families are heading to the beach again!

 

 

YEAH!!!!!

Time to schedule your appointment for 2010 Senior portraits!

This is Amanda, the yoga instructor at Small Hope Bay.  After the Dana dive, I joined a yoga class taking place at the hot tub.  The weather was sunny every day we were there, but about a half hour after returning from the dive, the sky darkened.   The yoga instructor had the class lay on their backs with our palms up and eyes closed.  There was a gentle drizzle falling on us which I found to be very refreshing and relaxing.  

 

A good friend, Dana Maxwell, recently  passed away.  He requested that his ashes be taken to the Bahamas and Ernie & I helped fullfill his wishes.  Last week we went to Small Hope Bay on Andros Island and took his remains on a dive.  Dana would scuba dive at Andros about 2-3 times a year.  Last Monday we accompanied his remains on a dive to the Tongue of the Ocean.  A memorial plaque was placed at Dana's Delight which is 160' down.  The ashes were in a biodegradable box and was weighted down and dropped over the reef which goes down 6000'.   Thank you Jeff and Mike from Small Hope Bay Lodge for all you did to commerate Dana's life...you will always be a big part of it.  Here are some of the photographs from the day.

I entered several images for the Print Competition at the PPARI Annual Convention.  This is a high school senior photo panel.  Titled "Who I am....Who will I become?"  Thank you Stephanie for allowing me to publish your images.

   Pendragon did a benefit concert at the Blackstone River Theatre for BAAM - "Because Art Always Matters".   Cumberland High School is raising money to purchase timpani's. Individual  band members from CHS performed at the beginning of the evening.  It was an awesome night.

     

         

If you love Jazz - you must take in Greg Abate at Chan's in Woonsocket the next time he comes through town.  Greg terms it "Bebop" as he roars into a tune, notes cascading out of him with mind-boggling speed.  What a great sax player - my favorite instrument!

  Happy New Year!!!!   This is Avery, and although she is 10 weeks old, she was the first baby I photographed this year.  What a sweet little girl she is!

Merry Christmas - Happy Hanukkah - Kwanzaa
