On Meeting Annie Leibovitz

Seeing Annie Leibovitz in person and getting her autogrpah in her new book"Annie Leibovitz at Work" was by far one of the most thrilling moments of my life. I have admired her tenacity, vision and confidence throughout my life as I have watched her tranform herself into one of America's most well known woman photographers. After hearing her speak, I came away feeling like she was definately in the right place at the right time. Over and over again.
She talked about photographing her family and how those photos are some of her favorites. I too feel the same way. The photos that I have taken of my nieces in particular mean so much to me. There I am with my newly signed book, knowing that an heirloom has just been aquired! Notice the pearls....anyone recognize them?

The New President of America Greets America

America Rejoices as our new leader takes the stage in Chicago,IL (my hometown) to greet the American public and accept him as their new President elect. Oregon happened to be one of the states that sent his votes over the number he needed to clinch the election. I have friends and relatives that have worked very hard to get him elected. Thank you to my cousin Jake and his wife Mina Neuberg and friend my freind Pam Hellesto! Job well done. Let's all hope that he can lead our country in a better direction and find peace in knowing that it appears that he is a man with good values, a decent education and the guts to try!
