Shoot VIII - "NECCC Conference"

Were you thinking Illinois? Nothing in the clues hinted the "Land of Lincoln" for me! However, Michelle, Joani, Milt, and Carol knew it was Illinois! 


One of my annual activities is the New England Camera Conference at UMASS Amherst. Shoot Eight was one of my four July outings. The organizers set up model shoots in several of the rooms and around the campus.  I chose this one of "Kayla" because of the emotion in her face. I thought she looked like she was waiting for someone to come home soon. Shot in color, it was converted to monochromatic.

If photography is your thing, you need to plan on a July weekend at the NECCC Conference! There are guest speakers covering every aspect of photography, photo ops, vendors to sell you anything you are needing and great conversations with hundreds of other photo enthusiasts.

Thought for the week. . .

Here are some interesting facts about one of our fifty states. Do you know which one? This state boasts of:

the birthplace of Madonna, Kate Upton, Stevie Wonder, Burt Reynolds, Diana Ross, and Tom Selleck

being the Cereal Bowl of America as one of its cities produces most cereal in the U.S

being home to the world's largest manufacture of magic supplies

having the only place in the world with a floating post office. The
J.W. Westcott II is the only boat in the world that delivers mail
to ships while they are still underway. They have been operating
for 125 years. 

Leaving you with a smile, I hope. . .

Even though duct tape can't fix stupid. . . 
it can sure muffle the sound!
