The class of "Creativity" was great, I got a lot of positive feedback and lots of requests for another such class. So I am currently working on three new classes...one of classical posing and lighting in the studio, second will be on location work, and third will again be on creativity...after the image is made! I'll let you know when I will be teaching these classes. Meanwhile, if you are interested please contact me and let me know.

Okay, guys.....I've been inudated with messages as to when the next class will be. I really love what I'm doing and love teaching so I guess another class is definately on the agenda. Please email me at gerrikaramesinis@aol.com or on my facebook, just leave a note and let me know you would like to be included and I will set up another date. Thanks for all the response.

Workin' away!

I have just finished designing an album and am ready to send it to the bride for approval. Next project...what should I do now???

Wow, what a great convention for the Connecticut Photographers assoc. I got to meet David Hume Kennerly and see some of his amazing photographs. I was totally in awe of the photos from the Vietnam war...such impact and storytelling. He created memories of historical events and shared such a wealth of information. Ben Willmore, my favorite photoshop guru ,was there as well and gave a terrific seminar and I can't wait to see in again in New York in March. And of course, thanks to speaker Carla Ten Eyck, I am actually doing a blog, due to her informational talk. If you are a photographer and not attending these valuable meetings, shame on you. I loved getting to visit and chat with new and old friends. My personal favorite, Dick Robertson was CPPA's special guest and was honored in a beautiful ceremonial banquet. He was one of my mentors and inspirations and always will be. Love ya Dick. His wife, Marcia is an incredible artist and just a sweetheart. I will plan a trip to Florida just to check out all their new work and visit sometime soon, I hope.
I missed my darling granddaughter, Giovanna but will resume my babysitting duties again tomorrow. I can't wait until my two ten year old grandchildren, Joey and Kristina ,can attend the photography lectures with me as the new generation of photographer.

Creativity

Okay guys....here's the deal. I am hosting a class on "creativity" with photos. It will be held at my studio on Friday, Feb 27th, 10am to 4pm. $o.oo but you must bring something tasty as we will be having lunch on you! I need to keep to about 10 people so let me know soon if you are coming. I'll be showing both photoshop ideas and Painter projects. Bring your computer and a good sense of humor. Here's a couple of sneek preview items. Gerri

Making a blog

I went to the Connecticut Photographers convention where I sat in on a lecture about blogging. ( I almost didn't go because I thought blogging had something to do with winter sports) I was curious and decided to come straight home and create a blog, which I did and was oh so proud. The next day however, it was lost. I tried everything to try and find it but had forgotten what I had titled it. Well, today I tried again and it magically appeared so I decided to add some text and see if the bologging fairy likes me or not. Hello.....I'm here to stay so get used to it.
