I in America we would call that a Photography convention. Laslo Gabany, (a very talented wedding photographer) was a generous and caring host and the creator of Wedding Biennal. Myself, along with international photo stars, Joe Buissink and Yervant shared the platform and performed a three day educational event. I must say Moscow is one of the most incredible cities I've ever been to. To stand in Red Square was just amazing. I also had the good fortune of sharing time with American photographer and educator, Bob Rose. Besides being a terrific educator, Bob is also the "go too" guy for anything electronic. As things would go, my laptop died just before I was to go on stage and lecture. Thanks to Bob's clear thinking, I was able to save my program. At the close of the program, I was surprised and delighted to receive an unbelievable honor. That of receiving the Russian Guild of Professional Photographers "Golden Eye" award. This award has only been given 10 times in the history of the Guild.

Can I just say, that Puffin photography (the bird shot) is probably about the most challenging I've done! The Icelandic horses are truly amazing! They have such thick manes that it looks like they have wigs on. I was absolutely captivated by them!

Myself along with 8 other Icons spent two weeks photographing in remote places all over the Country. I must say, if you have the opportunity of going to Iceland, by all means go. It is about the most beautiful place I've been to. If you are in need of quiet, peace, and a great place to fill your soul, I can think of no greater place to do so. Along with the natural beauty, I had the honor of photographing the President of Iceland. Photos follow. I know you will agree that these represent quite a departure from the "traditional Bambi."

I had the opportunity of sharing in the 8 x 10 competition for WPPI and came home with 1 first place winner, and three 2nd place winners! The print that won is the photo of the photo of the girl wearing the red dress running down the path.

The first annual Barbecue Smackdown. This event will feature the barbecuing skills of world renouned Barbecuer and celebrity, Skip Cohen of Rangefinder Publishing. (Carey Schumacher) will compete with Skip for the title, to which many of us agree there is no contest. The best part besides eating the barbecue, is that all of the money raised during this event will go to The Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep organization.www.nowilaymedowntosleep.com/ For full details, and voting rights, please go to www.bbqsmackdown.com All of my friends, please vote for the clear winner here, Skip Cohen.

There were some very stimulating photographers featured. Among those, one absolutely wonderful young woman. Her work was THE buzz of the show. http://missaniela.com/ If you wish to be inspired, go to her website and check out her truly amazing self portraits. This young woman is only 21 years old and is one of those "one in a million" truly gifted people. It was great to see such a young girl making a mark in the industry.

I did the portrait session in the clients home using only the available light from a table lamp next to the bed. Remember Light is Light. I used the 50mm 1.2 lense at about 1.8. That lense is incredible. Using 1.8 minimized room clutter.
