Awards Ceremony pictures.
The Awards Ceremony was held on April 17th.
Let me apologize in advance for the very poor quality of these pictures. The first 4 are not bad...the rest are a study in the inadequacies of built-in flash units of digital cameras.
I'll plunk down the chips for a good digital WITH a hot-shoe and we'll be in business...Just for the record, the cam will stay with me...not the website.
