Photokin

Here are a couple of shots from the recent wedding of Delores and Solomon in Philadelphia, at the International City Community Church. It was a lovely ceremony and reception, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to assist my friend Merdis in photographing these delightful people.

They certainly picked a beautiful day for their engagement session! Kacie loves New Hope, Pennsylvania, which on the first beautiful day of spring was beyond crowded. We managed to avoid the tsunami of people by heading down to the towpath, and by the kindness of management at the Tuscany restaurant which let us use their cute little garden spot for a few shots. It looks like a lovely place for a reception.  As the density of the crowds increased, we decided to seek refuge at the Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve.  We saw only a few wildflowers but the place is otherwise a scenic delight.

Here are some impressions from the Flower Show at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.  I picked a bad day for it, considering it must have been the most crowded place on the planet at the time.  It was a struggle to move around, once inside.  I was equipped with my little point ‘n’ shoot camera, being there mainly to enjoy the show, not necessarily make pictures.  Looking around at the massive photo gear hanging from the necks of people in the crowd I wonder if I missed a memo or something.  But, I did snap a few and here they are.

Sunrise After the Blizzard

It was a dark and stormy night… but I was greeted by a lovely sunrise today.  What you can’t see from this view is that the rest of the tree was damaged by the storm.  I hope we don’t lose it!

So much new software heading this way… my head is spinning! You might not notice a difference right now, but the blog you’re looking at is running on the brand-new ProPhoto3 program within WordPress. It has many new capabilities, which I’ll be looking over soon. Is it time to change the look of Photokin?

And just this week, my gallery host (Zenfolio) announced a boatload of new features. I’ve been so happy with Zenfolio as a charter member, I never knew I wanted all these new features… but now that they’re here, I’m glad to have them!

I’ll be tinkering with the blog first. If you notice any mistakes anomalies, please do let me know!
