Last night was the Oscars and I was thrilled that The Hurt Locker walked away with Best Director and Best Movie! I saw it twice within one week. Why? Because the director, Kathryn Bigelow, directed your heart and eyes towards what she wanted you to see & feel. I thought she had an artistic eye and style that appealed to me. Her use of camera angles, muffled sound and close-ups put you right there, with pliers in your hand. It also increased my pride and sense of gratitude I have for my two nephews, and other soldiers, that have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Way to go Kathryn!
Today I received my 'Oscar' in the mail and it arrived in a gold tube. Inside was my certificate for Certified Professional Photographer! It feels good so thanks to all my clients and photographer friends that have cheered me on.
So besides the MS I earned years ago, I get to add a few more initials to my name. CPP. Achieving a goal always feels good, so like Kathryn, I'll soak this up for a couple of days! Then it's on to the next goal!

Congratulations Peggy! A well deserved Oscar for you! I STILL love the book filled with images of Derek's senior year. Your heart and openess allowed you to capture the true soul of my son and the thrill of his senior year! A keepsake we will tresure for a lifetime! BTW...appreciate your comments about the Hurt Locker and your nephews. Derek enlisted and leaves shortly after graduation. Andrea McElroy
