A few months ago there was a story about me in the local newspapers – I had been named the 2008 Innovative Artist by ArtWorks NH. I was taken totally by surprise – and felt really honored.

I had the opportunity to borrow a great lens for the last week or so from good friend and colleague Al Wood. He was good enough to part with his 12-24mm Tokina so I could shoot some cottage interiors ( they will be the next post) and then I took a little time to play with the lens for fun. (more…)
