Veteran's Day 2008

Good Morning.

Take a little time today to thank a Veteran or say a prayer for those who are currently serving.

Also, take a little time to support the USO for assisting our soldiers when returning home or when they are deployed. (Click the title for a link to our local USO homepage.)

To all members of the Armed Forces-Thank you for keeping us free and safe.

Volunteer Work

This past weekend we contributed a little time to Hearts and Hammers. Just remember-always take your camera to capture those family memories.

October Photo Tip

When on vacation or just out for a daytrip, take a look around, then step back and take another look. The subject of your photograph should not be in the center. Think of the "Rule of Thirds" or, as this photograph represents-have something that draws the eye to the subject and beyond.

I took this photograph at the Tosho-gu Shrine, Nikko, Japan.

Restoring Photographs

Along with taking photographs, I enjoy restoring old, damaged and faded photographs.

This photograph was not only stained with a red ink, it was torn and "repaired" with scotch tape.

The image was digitalized, then taken into Photoshop for restoration.
