amateur photo contest

I ran across an amateur photo contest that I want to call to your attention.  The Richard B. Dunne Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund was set up for Mr. Dunne who was both a teacher and a photographer.  This contest is used to put scholarships together for college.

http://www.rbdscholarship.org/

The cost is pretty minimal to enter ($10 for adults) and the cause is good.  I just wanted to pass it along.

Chasing Fires to Chasing Toddlers

Chasing Fires to Chasing Toddlers 

PJ Portraits with Paula Swift
Saturday, April 9th, 9:00 am – 4:30 pm

In this unprecedented, one-day portrait workshop, participants will have the opportunity to work directly with Paula as she shares her expertise and shows techniques to make authentic, photojournalistic portraits of your own. Paula will cover such topics as capturing fleeting moments during a session…when a child thinks no one is watching, the hugs a parent shares with a shy child, or even a toddler running away from the camera giggling.

She will talk about her experience as a photojournalist and how she implements those skills in capturing beautiful, timeless and story-telling portraits in today’s competitive photography world.

​During an afternoon photo shoot you will apply these techniques, under the guidance of Paula, while working with models on campus. She will then review the images with you and make valuable suggestions to apply to your image making in your own business.
