Award Winnng Photos!!

September has been a great month for us in the photography arena!!  Gary was awarded "Best Pictures of DeSoto Discovery", an annual magazine published by the DeSoto Tribune. 

We both entered pictures in the Delta Fair, held at the Agricenter in Memphis, TN.   Gary won Best of Show and 1st Place in the Pets/Animals category with this photo of an eagle we shot while on vacation in Ketchikan, Alaska.   

Carol won first place in the Nature category with this sunrise picture shot on vacation in Destin, Florida. 

We are so excited and proud of each other for our accomplishments.

Photography is our passion and we love to share this past time together.  Winning is just the icing on the cake.  At some point we're sure our feet will touch the ground again!!

Delta Fair September 4, 2010

     We decided to check out the Delta Fair at the Agricenter in Shelby County, Tennessee.  We also wanted to see how we fared (pun intended) in the photo contest.  We were very pleasantly surprised at the caliber and quantity of things to do and see.

     As we made our way to the photo exhibit, we took in the vendors' booths and perused the many items for purchase.  We were thrilled to discover that Carol had won first place in the Nature category.  What an honor!!

     We spent several hours taking in the sights and taking pictures and video of:  a mid-evil jousting match, a helicopter ride, monkey jockey races among others.  Carol even had her picture taken with one of the monkey jockeys.  There was a wide variety of rides and foods and we enjoyed as much of them as we could handle.  In fact, we are going back for a second visit.

     We invite you to visit our website and take a look at our photos and video.
