As part of the Capture Ventura County (CaptureVC) picture campaign that the Ventura County Star is hosting, a picture of Sarah, my daughter, is seen on the front page of the Ventura County Star website. I am very happy as this is a great picture of my daughter and my first real publication.

Capture Ventura County

Leigh — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:12:55 +0000

The Ventura County Star wants to publish a coffee-table art book and has started a photo website called Capture Ventura County. This is a site for all Venturian’s and anyone that has captured pictures of Ventura County. They have eight different chapters (categories) to post your pictures in (People, Nature, Sports & Recreation, Scapes of All Sorts, Everyday Life, News & Events, Pets, and Institutions). I encourage anyone that has taken pictures of Ventura County to submit their pictures. If you do not get into the top of each chapter that is okay and as long as someone voted for your picture, you will get into the DVD.

Shameless plug, please vote for my pictures – http://www.capturevc.com/people/acejr371

Photowalking.org just announced a photowalking event in Simi Valley on March 15th. For more information, goto Photowalking.org. Here is a little excerpt from the announcement:

“we’re going to head to the western end of Ventura County, in Simi Valley, and shoot in and around Corriganville Park. The Santa Susana Mountains are a unique mountain range that is loaded with beautiful large rolling rock hills. I’ve shot it before, as you can see in the photo.”

Leigh — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 06:59:13 +0000

Just today, Trevor Carpenter has created a blog site called PhotoChallenge.org. This site will be the main stay of all the challenges that Trevor will be announcing through the years to come. As you may know, the first challenge is the 2008 Challenge. I see that Trevor is trying to separate the challenges from his main site trevorcarpenter.com. For those of you that dare take on these challenges, you will have the time of your life. I would highly recommend all of you at there visit these sites:

PhotoChallenge.org & TrevorCarpentor.com

A little of a preview from PhotoChallenge.org by Trevor Carpenter:

Again, as the December Challenge came to a close, many were asking me, “What’s next?” I decided that I liked the every other month pattern, and choose February, 2008 as the next month. However, I also had just finished following Bill Wadman and his 365Portraits.com. All year long, in 2007, Bill took a portrait a day. How awesome it was to see his amazing work. Wanting to help others accomplish something similar, I decided to launch the 2008 Challenge.
