Doing some test/set-up shots for a large family group portrait session on Monday.

My niece Jessica - she's a trooper.

We ended up painting the frame gold.

It's wonderful-tacky.

We have an intern program at the Utata Gallery and these two magnificent young ladies did me the favor of acting as models tonight so I could take some shots.

And a grand time was had by all.

Ellen, PR for Utata, stands in front of the newly finished sign at the Utata Gallery and Art Centre. We had a big event on Sunday and we'd all worked for the last week with little sleep and almost no contact with other people ... this was Saturday night, close to midnight, I am guessing. We'd yet to put on the smaller "Gallery and Art Centre" but we were pretty pumped about the UTATA bit. The tall fellow being a perfectionist over the final "A" is Christian, our designer and all around good guy.

We cried. It was cool :)

I was the Weight Recorder at the annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off in my hometown of Windsor. Utata sponsored the pumpkin decorating and carving contests.

This little guy, named Owen, grew this pumpkin with his dad.

He was showing me how big it was last week.

The winning pumpkin weighed 1300 pounds and set a new Atlantic Record.
