Chinese New Year - The Year of the Horse

Yesterday I was able to spend a few minutes at the Boutwell Auditorium for the Chinese New Year celebration. The dragon is always a crowd pleaser!  I was sorry I couldn't be there for the wonderful music and dance presentations throughout the day.

Just outside the Boutwell Auditorium, I asked if I could take this beautiful little girl's photograph. She was dressed for her performance at the Chinese New Year Festival on Saturday.

For my Birmingham area readers, I'll be teaching From Snapshots to Photographs at Samford After Sundown again. Please join us!

Chinese New Year - The Year of the Rabbit

I've been looking around the blogs and noticed that a lot of my fellow bloggers have jumped right on the
Chinese New Year celebrations photos.  I've been in *pre-photo exhibit hysteria so I assumed I'd missed our great festival at Boutwell Auditorium.  On closer look, I see I can still  be part of the festivities on February 19 from 11-4  at the Boutwell Aud.!!  So today, a look back at last year's fun. I'll be back with more on the 19th!!!

 * I am pleased to announce that my work, "Birmingham and Beyond",  will be on exhibit at Little Savannah Restaurant and Bar on Clairmont Avenue in Forest Park.  The opening will be Thursday, February 10 from 5:30 to 7:30pm.  I would love for my Birmingham readers to stop by and say hello.  The exhibit will hang until March 10th.
