Picture of Jorge at the pool makes it to 2nd round in the French issue of PHOTO. I’m very excited to see my photo has made it this far in the Creative Angle section. I took this photo in late spring at my Tennis Club in the early evening in the empty pool. I used a snoot on my flash which gave it a nice look. I also added a vignette in development. Will keep everyone updated.

Me in my wedding dress fifteen years later……
Well, last night I was up until about midnight photographing flowers with the help of my good friend photographer Dilip Barman. A wedding bouquet was made by Victoria Park Florist located in Timberlyne shopping center. The photograph will be used in Chapel Hill Magazine’s next wedding issue. Dilip is very good at photographing still lifes so I called upon him to assist me. What is for sure is lighting is very difficult to get just right. But I think we succeeded in getting the lighting just right on these shots.

The Beautiful Bouquet
Saturday night our club hosted a Wine Tasting and Dinner. It started off with tennis with one of our Pro’s Lauren. Everyone then enjoyed some bubbly and five different tasting wines representing different regions of France. Guests then enjoyed a red and white wine with dinner. Dinner was Chicken Basquaise and Boeuf Provencale followed by salad and herbed goat cheese prepared by Victoria Grulich (gourmetfriday@gmail.com). Dessert was provided by Guylaine Argeles, Owner of La Maison Sucree, and was Pear almond tarts with chocolate sauce and Chocolate Meringue mousse cake. It was all wondeful and everyone enjoyed themselves. Chapel Hill Tennis Club members can access the pictures of the event by entering their password in the CHTC Wine Dinner Gallery on my web site.
On June 20th. 2009 Kristen and Brad were married at Duke Gardens
It was a beautiful outdoor evening ceremony. Kristen looked beautiful in a long gown that accentuated her slim waist. The couple made quite an impression. We had a fun time taking shots after the ceremony where the groom, sporting a cowboy hat, joked around with his groomsmen . The whole evening was fun but remained an intimate celebration about the love this couple has for each other.

Sunday was the most perfect fall day to host a Pro Am at our club. 75 members signed up for this event. It was an exciting format with four half hour rounds where members got to play doubles with UNC college tennis players. One round consisted of drills done with either a UNC coach or a pro. It was all very fun and the college players were very gracious. Here are a couple of pictures from the event.
