40 years ago today, we drove to Kirkwood Meadows near Lake Tahoe, mounted skis and got married. Kirkwood Meadows was a new ski resort that we had not been to before, so we thought it would be a good place to start our new lives. We didn’t realize ahead of time that Dec 16, 1972 […]

[Brag] Another Creative Photo Winner
Tonight at the Berkeley Camera Club, we had Creative and Nature category competitions. Creative has always been one of my favorites, while Nature has never really been my strong suit.

Competition at the Masters level of photography at our local Berkeley Camera Club is fierce.

I just got moved up to Masters level in the Creative category for Berkeley Camera Club this month, and was worried if I would be able to compete with the spectacular images that often appear at that level. I submitted two images, and worried and waited… and won 1st Place! OK, it was a three-way […]
[Brag] Photos win Best of Year Awards at BCC
Last week, the Berkeley Camera Club had its annual banquet (which I was forced to skip due to other commitments). I had been bumped from Basic (lowest level) in most categories up to Advanced (third level) for 2011, so I didn’t expect to win nearly as many awards this year. To my surprise, four of […]
