Yellow Boardwalk - Toledo Digital Billboards Art Project

You may remember my blog post back in October of 2012 about my fine art photograph, Yellow Boardwalk, being selected by The Arts Commission of Greater Toledo (ACGT) to be displayed in the Toledo Digital Billboards Art Project as part of the Art in Public Places series.

It's been awhile, but I wanted to post a photo of my image on display on the actual billboard. This was taken at the corner of Monroe and Secor in Toledo, OH. It was one of the two billboards that the image was displayed on during October of 2012.

Recently I entered a few photos of my dog Buddy into the Golden Retriever Rescue Resource photo calendar contest. I was notified today that one of his photos won!

Below is the winning photo. I took this photo in Hocking Hills, OH. He had been swimming, hiking, and exploring the caves with my husband and I on our vacation this past May.

Dramatic B&W

This is my second time entering into an I ♥ Faces photo challenge. This time the theme is "Dramatic B&W" photography. My entry is a photograph I took at The Columbus Zoo. It was a hot summer day and this little girl was trying to cool herself in the mist.

Funny, Silly Faces and Pets!

Today is the first time that I'm entering into an I ♥ Faces photo contest. I ♥ Faces is a photography site focused on photographing faces and their multitude of expressions. Each week they hold a themed photo contest for photographers of all experience levels to enter on their site. It's a great site that is inspiring and fun to browse. They also have giveaways and tutorials for photographers.

This week they have two categories for the themed photo contest. The first is "Funny, Silly Faces". My entry is a photo of one of my clients. I love this photo because this is actually how she smiles. She is quite a character.


The second category in this week's contest is "Pets". My entry is a photo of my brother's dog, Penny, that I took in my studio. I love her little sad eyes.

Good luck to everyone entering the contest!

Cheers!
