Cheetahs Win It All!!!

Congratulations Cheetahs!!!


The New Jersey Cheetahs have won the Stop DWI Tournament of Champions played at the BAGSAI Softball Complex in Binghamton. After 2 long days of playing multiple games in very high heat and humidity the Cheetahs took control of the title game and never really left the outcome in doubt.
It's just a shame that nobody in the Binghamton area was aware that this tournament was even happening, thanks to the non-existent coverage by the local Binghamton Press. You would think a tournament of this caliber would be covered by the local newspaper. And they wonder why their readership is declining rapidly....
Anyway, a couple pictures below from the weekend. I will try to get a page online of pics from the tournament very shortly.  (click on pics to enlarge)

Orchids at the Cooperative Gallery

Today we were the guests of the Cooperative Gallery on State Street in Binghamton. Gallery member Geof Gould was nice enough to invite us down to shoot some orchids that were going to be part of the Orchid Society competition. Of course we couldn't refuse!! Everyone got some good shots and it was a fun afternoon with friends and a good learning experience for us all. We decided the next flower foray will be at the Cornell Plantations. Stay tuned!

Molly & Mary do it right....

Remember, Molly is the nice one....​

On Saturday we were lucky enough to have the dynamic duo of Molly Isaacs and Mary Lindhjem as featured speakers at the 2013 Teach-In, sponsored by the Two Rivers Photography Club. If you don't know who Molly & Mary are, head over to their website Awake the Light​, and get acquainted. In addition to being highly regarded photographers and educators, they are actually very funny. The constant banter between the two makes for a light-hearted way to spend a day and it is a pleasure to watch two photographers who really enjoy what they are doing. And I believe that they were successful in convincing several people to try Lightroom after M&M showed them that they didn't have to spend hours in front of the computer to get terrific images.

If you weren't able to attend last weekend, Molly & Mary will be at the NECCC Conference this summer, which many of the photo club members attend. I'm sure we'll have more information about NECCC at our upcoming club meetings. If you do get a chance to go, tell them I said Hi! And remember, Mary Molly is the nice one......​
