As I explained in previous posts, I was in Florida last week attending the YMCA National Swimming and Diving Championship with Will. I enjoyed volunteering as a photographer for two sessions and thought I'd post a few of my favorites from those sessions. If you are interested in seeing more, I've posted them on my Web site, in a FEATURED gallery. After photographing all winter in dark pools, it was great fun to be able to work in full sun.

I've enjoyed the week photographing at Y Nationals. See the post below for the link to the CAQY blog.

I've just set up the blog for the swim team's trip to YMCA Nationals. Check it out...2007 CAQY National Team.

What a fun surprise to discover that this photo, which I titled "Energy," won 2nd price in the betterphoto.com November photo contest. It spent much of January popping up on the main page of betterphoto. Interestingly, it received not one comment when submitted or until it was named a prize-winner, a wonderful reminder to stay true to my vision and continue to experiment with the nontraditional.
