The Fresno Chapter of the Cancer Society had a dog run over the weekend for the Cancer Survivors and my 27 year old granddaughter is a survivor. Shellene and her beloved Bruin and Stella got second place.

  Hi Freddy: I guess I got a little emotional yesterday when I saw the images that I had taken.
I just get a little carried away about my children and grandchildren. I am so in love with all of
them (7) that I tend to talk too much. You’re a great friend and I appreciate it very much.
Thank you so much for all your kind comments.
My best to you always, Merna

  Hey Hey *MERNA*!

Firstly my mega Aussie congratz for the EP and a special congratz to Shelene.

This is a most attractive and well made portrait that clearly displays the love between you all.
Each of the 'models' is doing a great job and the rapport with you through the camera is a delight to see.
The B&W processing has delivered wonderful tones and contrast and the image is so crisp and clear.
My hat off to all involved in this fine production.

  Dear Dennis: Thank you for touching my heart in a way that does not happen often. I have 7 grandchildren and love them beyond comprehension.
If you care to know a little more about Shellene and her gold medal winning sister, go to: www, shellenecatalano.com and wwwshaycat.com. Be sure to watch the movies in Shannon's website to see her win a gold medal at the World Games for swimming. I have not maintained them lately and for that I like them to be involved, newly married, to her high school sweetheart, Shellene and Cody have been busy starting their lives.
I am almost finished making my yearly calendar for 2011, which will be about my husband’s street rods that he has built. To do this, I will need an email address to forward them to you. I would be so honored if you would take a look at the calendar.
My best to you always, Merna

  Congratulations to Shellene & her pups...and I'm glad she's a SURVIVOR! Great framing around the edges. Is that vignetting?

  Perfect photo for a B&W treatment.

You acheived a wide range of tones for an outatanding image. I particularily like the darkened corners. That effectively give more notice to the central subjects.
