A little of this and a little of that

I've posted the latest Little League all-star photos from Friday on the website and should be able to get some more games in later this week.

I'm teaching a photography class in Montgomery each Tuesday in July. If it goes well, I may try to do the same in other communities. If you know of a town that might have some interest in hiring me, let me know.

My goal is to help people progress from taking pictures to making photographs by learning more about the manual settings on their camera and by using some tried and tested tips and techniques (say that three times fast!) I learned along the way.

Also, I thought I'd share a couple of photos.

One is of a good friend Jim Hill - who said he won a bet for showing up at a little league game with his cute-as-a-button daughter Lizzie dressed like the naked cowboy - only with short - thank God. This photo is apropos of nothing, but I know it will annoy Jim and I live for that.

Next, here are some fireworks photos from the Lake Carmi fireworks show. There's nothing I enjoy photographing more than fireworks. That's all I got for now - stay safe, hug your kids and keep cool --- Shawn

July senior portrait special

I have just posted my new senior portrait special on my photo website. Thanks to all of you who booked for the early special in June - the response was amazing, but I still have some dates available for the rest of the summer.

If you take advantage of the July special there are a couple of things to bear in mind. First, because bookings were so numerous last month, there's a limitation on the dates that are available for the rest of July and August. That said, I'm opening up weekend dates now and will try to be as flexible as possible. Secondly, it would be helpful when you book to have more than one date and time that you think would work for you.

Thanks again to those who booked early and for those just getting around to booking, rest assured there's still plenty of time and I'll do all I can to make sure you get a sitting that works for you.

All the best!

Shawn
