I have two congrats to give today…and both of them come with galleries….and both of them are my sisters :)

Congrats to Shannon for winning the first place rank in the division with her softball team. Shannon is the only freshman playing on varsity right now! Here is a shot of her getting a double in a game this week. Click the image for the full gallery.

Congrats also to my sister-in-law, Genevieve.  Genevieve graduated from TCNJ today with a degree in English. Here is one from her ceremony. Again, click the picture for the full gallery.

    Great celebrations and of course, awesome photos. Your mom looks so pretty in #12 of Genevieve’s gallery. The one of Olivia and the lion is priceless :))

    Corinne,
    It’s a Fisheye (rectangular, not circular). The professional ones are quite expensive, but very nice to have if you are working in the field. Here is mine:

    Also, the vignette effect is a feature in Adobe Lightroom. Lightroom is the best possible software for a photographer who works with a significant amount of images. Photoshop is ok with 1 or 2 images, but lightroom is best for bunches. Also and head and shoulders above most other similar programs. I wish I got commission from selling it…
