It can be seen at First Light Gallerie, 302 N. 1st Avenue (next to the Panida).<br /><br />Here is how it works:<br />Email a short story (funny, sad, etc. - one or two paragraphs) that somehow involves the Panida to: do@sandpointphoto.com. It could be the story of a special encounter at the Panida, a memorable show, or anything you may have seen or experienced in the Theater. Please keep it short and to the point.<br />The three best stories will be chosen by Panida's Executive Director Karen Bowers and myself and posted on Sandpoint Photo Facebook page where you will get a chance to make your pick. The winner will be announced at one of the Panida's shows in July (date to be announced later).<br /><br />Please note: winner (or a representative) will have to pick up the picture at First Light Gallerie.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875140412945222574-3111050295942628710?l=sandpointphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marie-Dominique Verdier.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803916329528523681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875140412945222574.post-71925899898758753222010-05-15T09:24:00.001-07:002010-05-15T09:26:50.181-07:00Stop by First Light Gallerie (302 N. 1st Avenue) if you were in the parade last night: your picture may be hanging up!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8yp5O0ZQKzU/S-7K6yIIenI/AAAAAAAAAl0/qgHleLWMrMM/s1600/Lost-in-the-50.jpg"><img style="display:block;

It usually applies to wedding dresses, and the trashing is up to the person who wears the dress, although I personally think it does not need to be destroyed. I just want to take beautiful pictures and have fun in the process. From the model's point of view, there is a sense of freedom that goes along with wearing a beautiful dress and not worrying about getting it dirty.

city or a small town, foreigners tend to gravitate towards each other (at least, that's my experience after living in the US for 18 years). Sandpoint is no exception, so it didn't take me long to find Fabrice (or, to be more accurate, for Fabrice to find me). However, I'm not the kind of person who will be friends with a fellow citizen just because we share the same country of birth. However, it may be that Sandpoint is an unsual magnet, or it may be fate, but after already finding a sister in Catherine Earle (if you've never heard or her, she is an amazing watercolor painter; check out her website: www.CatherineEarle.com), I feel that my French family is expanding with Fabrice Plantard. He is the new owner of Sandpoint Interiors (www.SandpointInteriors.com). If your read his bio, you'll wonder how and why he ended up in Sandpoint (and what a blessing for us!), but you'll just have to ask him. And the guy can swing, so I may end up putting my dancing shoes again after all...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875140412945222574-280317984182757935?l=sandpointphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marie-Dominique Verdier.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803916329528523681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875140412945222574.post-2163608198450371122008-08-20T03:57:00.001-07:002008-08-20T04:20:06.848-07:00Any excuse I have to experiment with light, I jump in.
