As usual, whenever there’s a camera around – especially my own – I cannot resist getting in front of it. So, while I enjoyed my time as the event photographer for the Fairytale Fantasy Ball, I did manage to get a shot or two of myself. (See below):

We got walloped last weekend with an ice storm that knocked out power to large swaths of the city. We were without power for 3 days, and when the temperature dipped to -12 degrees, we had to turn the water off to avoid burst pipes.
Power came back on on Christmas Day –

Xpressions is a group hereabouts that runs monthly casual, come-as-you-are pub nights, occasional organized restaurant dinners and an annual Christmas Gala Weekend.
I came to know about Xpressions very early in my female existence, and their pub night seemed a most welcoming venue to make one of my very first outings to. And I have to say that I learned a lot about myself and the road I was starting on from them. And, for that I am truly thankful.
I have returned once in a while to maintain my connection to the group, but I never got really super-involved with them.
Truth be told, once I passed a certain level of comfort with being a woman, it seemed to me that the issues that I wanted to talk about and think about were not the same as those that were being bandied about at their meetings.

“TGs in Tiaras” is the name given to a brand new event hereabouts.
It will be a glittering ball with everyone dressed to the nines in their finest gowns, cocktail dresses and formal attire. It is a nice idea and a great opportunity to get all made up, dolled up and dressed up.
For me, it is a doubly happy affair, as I have the honor of having been selected as the photographer for the event.

Today, I bring you a brand new photo, fresh off the presses. (Or is that, “Hot off the griddle?” … Would you believe, “Right out of the darkroom?”)
Perhaps I shouldn’t comment on my own work, but if I didn’t say stuff, you wouldn’t have a reason to visit, right? So, what the heck…
I really like this shot because it seems there is more to it than simply, “Look at the pretty girl.”
