Not So Still Life Photography

Yesterday I had the pleasure of documenting the Grand Opening of The Isis Wellness Center in Morgan Hill, CA. The center is the culmination of five years of planning by Isis Jade who was delighted to officially open by cutting a ribbon with huge scissors from the Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce.

The center was also blessed by Yvonne Ohumunki Urness (of Hula for the Soul) whose blessing extended to the business, the people present to celebrate and future clients. As she dripped water over the crowd she told them that if water happened to drip on you, it was an extra blessing.

It’s almost mid February and with one New Year’s resolution well underway, redesigning this site to better reflect my business, it was time to begin work on another, increasing networking with other professionals.

I already belong to one dynamic group for wedding professionals, the Silicon Valley chapter of the National Association of Catering Engineers (NACE), so this year I also want to meet other professionals in general. I was invited to check out the Genuine Networking Association which has day and evening meetings, and the first one that fit my schedule was last night’s which happened to be their one year anniversary celebration.

The group has been meeting at the Beverly Heritage Hotel at Brandon’s Restaurant one Friday evening a month and to celebrate Brandon’s restaurant manager, Victoria, and the shared champagne with the group, a fact the group’s president, Elias, acknowledged with a high five and lots of laughter.

Champagne makes for great photos both in terms of toasting action photos, and even for detail shots, especially if you can catch it while it is still bubbling in its glass.
