Over the week of Christmas Sherelene and I and all our children and their families went up to Harlan and Terri my sister-in-law, (a great photographer & my brother Homer’s wife), shot family pictures. Let me introduce my family to you! Left to right, top row, Rhonda Fortney, Hannah Fortney, Casssidy Moore, Clint Moore, Cade Moore, Ben Fortney, Wesley Fortney. Middle Row, Catherine Moore, Sherelene Fortney, the pilgrim, Scott Fortney, Diane Fortney. Front row, Abigail Fortney and Elijah Fortney.
So who goes with who? Clint & Catherine, (my daughter and youngest child), Moore, Cassidy & Cade Moore. Wesley, (my middle son), & Rhonda Fortney., Elijah & Abigail. Scott, (my oldest son), Diane, Hannah & Ben. And of course my bride, Sherelene! One of the kids gave us a small wooden plaque that sits on the great room hutch in the dinning area, with all our family pictures, that says “Because two people fell in love.” That about says it all!
Blessings, from a blessed man,
the pilgrim

Then right after Photoshop World in Las Vegas come up to the High Sierras with Joe McNally, Anne Cahill, Bill Fortney and Jim Begley for a workshop in the Sierras, August 17-20.

It has been a hope of mine for along time to do a workshop with Joe! He is not only one of the greatest shooters out there today, he and his wife Anne are terrific people, that group is going to get a double barrel of fun and fellowship!

When I was assembling the Fuji book I asked some friends to share some of their work and it amazes me just how many truly fantastic photographers there are out there today! I thought I might just showcase some of the images I received and credit the wonderful shooters! Enjoy!
