Last night I spent the evening at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel for a great fundraiser event for the West Michigan Film Alliance. Red Carpet Ready is an annual event held to help raise money for the film industry in Grand Rapids and West Michigan. It was a great time! Thanks to Brian from the PhotoBooth Company for passing my name on. And to Hillary and her staff for making it a terrific evening.
The event was held in the Pantlind Ballroom.

Go ahead……see if you can keep your eyes from it. I couldnt’ for over a week!
I must thank BigFolio! I love them! They have been my website developers for over 3 years and still never a problem. An email away and you have your new site hosts. Check them out if you are looking for a new site.
It takes time to build a website and you all have heard me on Twitter and Facebook talk about it. So now here it is.
I just have to say that as I was going through thousands and thousands of images, I was reminded of one thing…how my clients trust and love me! I cannot thank you enough. Thank you for trusting me to come away with a great experience and great images. Thank you. I love you.
So now…go to it!

Ok, a break from our favorite reception places. I need some honest feedback from all of you readers.
I need website feedback. If you could check out my site www.dustybrown.org and give me your thoughts.
I need ease of use thoughts. Can you navigate well? Can you see all the links? Is it to confusing? Or is it just down right cool?
Dont critique my photos…well I guess you could…but those are not why I am asking for this.
I’ll tell you more later on why I am looking for this help from you. But for now if you have the time to visit and leave me some feedback that would be great.
I would love to hear from clients, photographers and people just crusing through.
You can email me throught the website, or come back here and give a comment.
Thanks so much!! I will post my findings later this week.
Yesterday was not only the inauguration, but the 2nd annual Wii Tourney. Over at the crib was host of local photographers. First we watch the inauguration then we chowed on great food and did our share of talking the day away. The Wii Tourney never really got underway. Although there was some grand Mario Kart whooping by Jonathan, but not an official Tourney like last year. And the camera did not quite find its way out ;-( But here is one of the shots just before the swearing in of President Obama.

Here are links to the awesome friends who made it over. Its great to be able to call so many talented Grand Rapids photographers friends.
