Unfortunately, the availability of low priced memory cards at one's fingertips and explosive shutter speeds can lead to rapid-firing of photos by loads of photographers. The concept is this - the more image captures I make, the higher chance there is that I come back with a prize winner. And this may ring true for some, but not for me.

Almost every early rise is worth the effort, but some provide that little cherry on top that life throws your way every so often. Last Wednesday was one of those mornings for me.

The award was for this shot of a marsh near Taylors Island on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

I'm pleased to announce that I have ten permanent installations in the new store, including two large black and white prints. It was a lot of fun working with the talented crew over at Whole Foods. They did a fantastic job decorating the store with local touches that make you feel right at home in the Chesapeake region.

In the post, titled andquot;Improve Your Imagesandquot;, Scott Bourne relays that a colleague he used to know (and who critiques photos for a living) once told him to study 10,000 photos before he came back to her.
