You Know What They Say, Right?

Barbers' kids always have long hair, mechanics' cars are always broken and photographers' blogs are never updated! We do get caught up in the grind sometimes... and things just slip -- although having a year pass without updating my blog might be a little ridiculous. You'll be happy to know, however, that I did not duplicate that same trend... with my bills (smiles).

But, I *have* been busy on several levels -- and having a great deal of fun -- so I'll share couple of things with you, here.

It's old news for most, but last year this time I became president of the Professional Photographers' Society of New York State (Hmmmm. I wonder if that had any correlation to... ) and admittedly that's taken up a good deal of my attention and mental real estate.




One of the most fun things for me was to have my mom there for my induction. She turned 80 a couple of months later, so this made a nice birthday present. Click here to see other photos, if you haven't before.


My year culminates at our annual conference March 28th-31st in Albany, NY, and I'll officially relinquish the gavel on May 17th. It's been a fun run, but with three weeks left to the convention... you can imagine where my mental focus is right now.


One of my duties as president was to travel around the state to visit our different sections (chapters) so I've done quite a bit of traveling this year, and made some friends I wouldn't have otherwise known. Most recently, I travelled to Westchester NY for a section event. Shown left here with Westchester section president Frank Mohalley (rear) and long time PPSNYS member and internationally known Master Photographer Frank Dispensa (left).


So this has been a HUGE part of my past year, although I *did* manager to photograph some clients, which I'll share with you in future posts -- and I promise not to take a year this time.

Have an excellent day!
