January 16th, 2014 Denise was interviewed by reporter Donna Jones about the connection between her photography and her docent work with the Watsonville Wetlands Watch. Click here for the full story. 

Efren was one of 229 photographers out of 461 whose image made it into the final exhibition. There were over 3,600 individual photos from 46 different countries. 14 photographers from the United States entered and only 5 were accepted. His image of Great Blue Heron Top is now published in a 4-star printed catalog by The International Federation of Photographic Art along side the images of other finalists and winners.

Today we finalized plans to exhibit in 
The True Olive Connection for the month of November. We will be there for First Friday. Look for updates on the possibility of one more exhibit this year downtown. We will also be in The Bagelry in February 2013.  

Denise has been working tirelessly on our Open Studio postcards for this year's 2013 Santa Cruz tour. She could be heard quietly cheering herself on at her desk with a quiet, "Yay!" for each new skill she accomplished in Photoshop. The cards will be ready today and will be handed out at upcoming art and wine festivals in Scott's Valley and Capitola.
