The Basics: Another year, another letter! We all continue to be well – Kenny, myself and the pooches, Ginger & Heidi (now both 14 years old and going strong with a clean bill of health). Kenny and I celebrated 9 years of marriage this year as well. Man, we’re getting old! ☺ Yes, Kenny continues to play pool and for me, my photography has been taking most of my spare time (more on that later).
Career: This is the first year in a long time where neither one of us changed jobs! Kenny continues at Diverse Networks (DNI) as Director of Engineering and I celebrated a year at Luby’s in June. I am very happy there and even had the opportunity to travel to Tucson and Northwestern Louisiana for the first time.
Travel: We found a ticket deal to NYC that we could not resist so we headed off to the Big Apple in May. We had a wonderful trip, great weather and I can’t wait to go back. We hit the major landmarks, caught some comedy shows and did a lot of walking. As you can well imagine, I had a blast with the camera and shot over 1000 pictures over those five days!
Photography: Christine, my photography partner, has successfully made it her fulltime career and through her support and experience I have ventured into the world of freelance photography in my spare time. I regularly work as Christine’s second photographer at wedding & events and independently complete various other small projects for local clients. We continue to have a booth at the Yale Street Market Art Market every First Saturday as well where we sell our artwork. Contact me at elaine@freshphotography.org if you need any portraits, commercial or event photography! P.S. The enclosed postcard is one of my photos as well.
Artistically speaking I was also honored to have been asked to help coordinate a local photography exhibit focusing on Houston. The exhibit was extremely successful and it was made even more special because I had two of my photographs selected to be part it (by a panel of 3 jurors)! The image to the right was one of the photographs selected.
2008 promises bigger & better things and Kenny and I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year!
