Happy Memorial Day!

I hope you all have a great weekend. Amidst those cookouts and beach play, remember the people who gave their lives for our freedom and those who still are as I write.

Connecticut PhotoJourneys

by Kim Bova on May 13, 2009

Come join us on a Connecticut PhotoJourney!  These classes are for individuals interested in improving their photography skills or to learn how to work their camera.  If you already know your camera and just want to practice shooting along side professionals for your own projects or for pleasure, this is definitely the place for you as well!  We will be visiting a variety of beautiful places in Connecticut through out the year.

If you have a group or club that would like to schedule a private PhotoJourney, I am available to do that as well.

I will have a link with a schedule of classes and fees, so please check back here soon!  Otherwise, feel free to call or email me for the details or to sign up.

Elegant Weddings in Connecticut

by Kim Bova on May 8, 2009

I noticed that brides are still loving the elegant, slightly deco style weddings in older halls like the Bond Ballroom in Hartford.
What are some of your dream venues? Is it the Bond, the beach or somewhere else? Please share.

The Man and the Molecule

by Kim Bova on May 4, 2009

JimKnox

I love making my portraits unique and one of a kind.  Every individual who walks into my studio is unique and I feel it is my job to learn something about my clients that is special in order to make their portrait reflect who they are.

Jim Knox, Professor Emeritus, Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut Storrs, is one individual who came to me recently for a portrait/headshot.  He discovered a molecule.  That is what you see in the background of his portrait.  I think the molecule is beautiful.  It is my understanding that it is the molecule that is resistant to penicillin.  I took a photograph of the image that he made of his molecule and used it as a background.   I don’t know about you, but I have never met anyone who has a molecule named after them!  Anyway, it it very important and impressive work that he is doing.

If you are interesting in Jim’s work, here is a link to his UConn website.  http://www.mcb.uconn.edu/fac.php?name=knoxj
