Yes, I was covering the IABC meeting presented by PIC Presents: Secrets of Successful Independents which was a panel discussion directed by Patricia Davies of Patricia Davies Communications. Taking part were Cathy Ledden, R.G.D., Chief Designer who can be found http://www.leddendesign.com/ and her panel partner was Paul Lima who has a blog http://paullima.com/blog/ Without trying to take on the job of reporter, it was a very educational evening with we freelancers getting a wake up call. Check out the panelists sites , it will be worth a visit.
Not that You can tell by the images below the motor Scooters were much easier for the client Invacare Canada LP [ who can be found at www.invacare.ca ] for moi to pack my gear and my background . I setup my studio in their display area. The challenge was the trio group photo as these are big puppies. 
Yes, You tell my Canadian heritage with my spelling. This a recent portrait for Marcel who is adding to the gallery of past principals. On the bragging side I was really pleased with the use of the blue gel on the black background . I feel it is not heavy handed .
Yes , title from the world of boring one might think but not so as I found out while attending the Professional Independent Communicators presents: Clearing the clutter from your computer held January 12, 2012. Deanne Kelleher from the Kaos group who can be found at http://www.kaosgroup.com/ Besides the good thing, I have a mac as I took for granted as the search engine tools which are built in to my system at least makes up for some of my lack of skills in the labelling department.
Yes , I am guilty of losing time to the vortex of badly named files. Now I have a simple way name my files. The hindsight of course why did I not catch on earlier.

Announcement card
Happy New Year one and all. Oh boy , I am in trouble with the grammar police. Yes I had the content re images and info but lets face a photog is not a designer.Here is Owens announcement card which was a 4×9 for a number 10 business envelope. I think the dark background really works with the line of two feet larger the finishing touch
Yes , my second author in a short while needing an image for book which is actually waiting for the image. Marlene George , check out www.marlenegeorge.com/
Marlene did bring a couple of outfits for us to work with. The first was a white but I thought the plum coloured was the better way to go. With my splash of blue on the dark background really set of her skin tone nicely
