I am currently attending Skip’s Summer School (photography seminar), located at the beautiful MGM Grand Las Vegas, 3799 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 89109.
There are so many inspiring speakers at the seminar. The great thing about all the teachers is they are all photographers. I am rejuvenated by all the inspiring speakers as well as the testimonials of other seminar participants.
I had the pleasure of taking pictures (see below) with some of the photographers.

April Sims and Dane Sanders
Clutching my autogaphed copy of Fast Track Photography by Dane Sanders after sharing a few tears with Dane. His story and his passion and willingness to help other touched me deeply.

If you are a U.S. resident get in contact with your state representative to set up a tour by your state representative’s office. All other visit the United States Capitol Visitor’s Center either online or in person for more details.

Nabia Khan is coming out with a catalog for jewelry soon and I had the esteem pleasure of being on of the photographers for her new catalog. Nabia is one of the nicest clients that I have ever worked with. She also knew exactly what she wanted which made the shoot go even smoother.
The model is the above image is Elissa DeSouza. She has made it to the final cut for D.C. in America’s Next Top Model the past three seasons. I am cheering for Elissa again this year and hopes she fulfills her dream of being one of the cast of ANTM. She is beautiful inside and out. If she does get onto the show I hope they do not cut her beautiful hair.

SHENANDOAH STANDING FOR NATIONAL ANTHEM
Beautiful day for baseball. The sky was blue and the clouds were so big and fluffy it looked as though you could pluck one from the sky.
I had the esteem pleasure of being invited to be one of the official photographers for the Babe Ruth Baseball Virginia State Tournament (15 yeard olds). The tournament took place from July 16 – Jul 21, 2000 at Annandale High School in Annandale, Virginia.

District 9’s Winchester won the tournament and will go to North Carolina to represent the state of Virginia.
