Summer Festival

I wanted to say a few words about this poster. In two weeks Steve Wingfield is bringing his unique blend of music and entertainment to Morraine State Park in Western PA. It will be three days of fun with a Christian witness.

Many of the activities are not specifically "Christian" in nature. For example, Ricky Skaggs is playing Sunday evening. He is a Christian, but performs secular music.

There will also be a lot for the kids. There will be skateboard teams and power team. A carnival type area will also be available.

If you don't have any plans for the weekend of June 13-15th, plan on attending - at least for a little while!

Here I am...

Well, here I am on Blogger. I wanted a chance to get my Photosheleter images out where people can see them. I am a lifelong fan of photography, but had never owned a decent camera until recently. I was always a point-n-shoot guy due to a limited budget. However, in March I purchased my first DSLR - a Canon EOS Rebel 400D (xTi). I currently have the two kit lenses it came with as well as the "nifty-fifty" (50mm f1.8), but am looking forward to purchasing the 70-200 f4 L soon.
Never being one to be satisfied with doing anything halfway, I skipped right over anything remotely automatic on the camera and dove right into full manual. It has been a blast learning to take great photos. So many fuzzy or dark photos later, I am finally producing a steady crop of decent work. Two weeks ago I began to submit to Photoshelter, and was pleasantly surprised to have half of my original eight phots accepted.
So, that's where I am at the moment. I won't be writing too much in the near future since the weather is great for shooting. Much of my spare time will be in the field shooting.
Be Blessed!
