Mulberry Fest

Today we headed out to Collierville to the Mulberry Fest. It was another opportunity for me to test myself to take pictures of strangers. I was in a vendor tent, snapping a couple photos when a woman outside said "What are you taking pictures for?". I turned around and realized that she and another woman standing next to her were running these two side by side booths. I explained I was taking them for my own personal practice, and the other responded "Oh, I thought you were with a newspaper". I think I disappointed her, and irritated the first woman. Oh well, at least they nagged me after I got the pictures instead of before.

Memphis Zoo

I've been a busy blogger this weekend. In the past couple days I've uploaded pics from Europe (from '04), portraits of Dee, and now I present to you, pictures from the Memphis Zoo. The highlight of our day was definitely the hippos. We arrived just in time for their feeding session, so we learned a lot of cool stuff about them, and I got lots of great pics too. Check out all the photos here.


This is the momma. She had just gotten out of the pool for feeding time. She thought I was going to feed her. Sorry, I left the fresh produce in my other purse.


This is one of my top faves of the day (it ties with the hippo).

Photo Walk

Saturday I participated in "Scott Kelby's World Wide Photo Walk". The idea was that a group of photographers meet up, walk around one area of the city together, but individually, snapping photos of whatever we want. At the end of the time (2 hours), we were to meet up at a specificied location for lunch to sit and chimp (oh and ah over our photos). J & I participated in the walk, but ended up going elsewhere for lunch. We had a blast. I uploaded a ton of photos to Flickr. I'm going to upload J's photos soon. I need a break from the pc for now though!

PS. Do me a favor: I can't submit all these pictures to the Photo Walk Flickr group, so I need your help picking! Tell me your top 3-5 faves from my set.
