I created this book as a sort of happy ending for myself after having not been chosen as one of the 12 photographers a local charity organization selected to illustrate 12 community groups they support, a wonderful win-win circumstance for both the photographers chosen and the Charity illustrating their good works. Most of the images here I had used to represent myself when I put together my grant application – though a couple, for obvious reasons, were not included. |

Instead of using Lightroom's new 'Watermark' feature (in both the Slideshow and Web modules) for overlaying your images all in the exact same place, all at the same opacity level – which looks pretty ugly in a presentation that includes a variety of images. by using a brush you create in Photoshop you can place each 'watermark' precisely where you would like it on each image and control their opacity as an overlay on each photo. If you check out images I present in my Location Scouting website you will see how this looks better (I think) than employing the 'Watermark' feature Lightroom provides. |

I made this series after attending an event organized and presented by a good friend of mine, Suzanne Johnson. She is the Executive Director of Gnosis. The gallery consists of my favorites shot over the weekend, November 11th and 12th (2011), Participating Architects' Own Homes Tour. |
