Did I photograph Crickets or Grasshoppers with my Macro Lens?

I was just having a discussion with my Father regarding his potential purchase of a Canon 70-200mm lens and when I asked what he wanted to photograph with that particular lens, he said he was interested in the humming birds which often visit his home in Ajijic, Mexico. I think it's a great idea however, my opinion is that a Macro lens may be something more useful to him because of his love of detail in an image. He will certainly need more equipment (and perfect timing) to get a great shot of a humming bird in flight however, I think this is a way to get started.

So, I'm attaching a few photos I took a few weeks ago from my back deck, using my Canon Macro lens. I hope you like them Dad! (Double click on the Image to see more detail)

Love Affair 2009 & Charlotte Weekend

So I just confirmed my spot at the Love Affair Photography Workshop this summer with some photographers from across the country meeting in Atlanta for a week of photo & business skill building. I can't wait to meet those photographers I've admired and learn from these women who seem to "do it all" with their business and family life!

This past weekend at the Epicenter had a lot going on and lots of people celebrating the holiday weekend! SUITE hosted a fashion show and MEZ was hoppin' as usual! Enjoy some of my favorite pics from the weekend...

Wednesday night was the "Pink Party" hosted by The Velvet Nights at the EpiCenter's SUITE. It was jam packed and guests were having a blast with great music and celebrating Spring by wearing pink and enjoying "pink treats" all night! I love how people have been getting really animated for my pictures lately, it's cracking me upppp!!! Below are just a few photos from the event!
