Well we had a great turnout for the shoot-out I hosted this past weekend. There were lots of photographers and even though not all of the models showed up we still had some great models on Saturday and Sunday. I'm pretty sure I got to work with all of them at least for a few minutes so you'll be seeing them show up on my page as the weeks go by. Some of the models were the same from the Laurens shoot-out for those who remember me doing that in the spring - Morgan and Katie. Since I was hosting I didn't get to go around to all the locations like the other photogs (I was watching our stuff mainly) but Sunday I got to go to several places with Jackie and Brittany, and some at the Horseshoe of Murphie.

Here's the recent artworks that I suggested for a DD that got one! I regularly suggest DD's so there's a good chance I've suggested one of YOURS!
This photo of mine was runner-up in the eARTh #5 "Mother Nature" contest! Find the news article here: [link] I'm so excited because the other runner-up and winner were traditional arts and sometimes it's hard for photography to compete! THANK YOU ~K-lenx

Theme: "Portraits that Catch the Eye"
Well everyone that watches me by now knows how much I love portraits, so I'm going to take the opportunity to share portraits that I've fav'd recently. They all really catch the eye and are amazing in their own special ways. :thumb132437225:
