Thanks for all that voted for me in the Cleveland Fox 8 HOT List!  I unfortunately didn't win this year, but your support was wonderfully overwhelming to me, so thank you!!! 

Have you noticed my new logo and branding?  I just love it and wanted to share my design "secret agent!"  If you have your own small business and looking for logo design or marketing material help - I highly recommend contacting graphic designer, Amber Mabe.  Her portfolio is beauiful!  I hope you give her a call.  She's incredible to work with and has wonderful ideas! 

Lastly, please visit me on Facebook and "Become a Fan" of Catherine Widemire Photography!  Thank you for your continued support of my work! 

See you again on my blog real soon!  Enjoy the season!

Earth Day 2009. It's Our Responsibility.

I was responding to a fellow photographer friend of mine and colleague on Facebook tonight about his images he was taking in Chicago while visiting there this week. He was documenting street life in downtown.

It being Earth Day today, I want to use the same quote I gave him about the people he captured to describe mother Earth. Here it is... "everyone" is the earth:

"'Listen to our story, give us hope.'" THAT's what everyone wants just one someone else to hear. It's our responsibility to hear that loud and clear."

Enjoy my photo too that I took today for the Earth Mosaic project. It's not too late for you too to be a part of it!

Thanks for doing your part, everyday to keep this world beautiful!
