I received my Certificate of Recertification from Professional Photographers of America (PPA) today.

My original certification was April of 1995. To become Certified the photographer takes a written exam and turns in twenty images representing their day to day work for evaluation. 

To recertify, so many hours of continuing education is submitted along with twenty images of current work. The certification lasts for five years.

I am in the process of designing a new Gordon Photography & Gallery website. It is very exciting because I am introducing a new line of art called “Characters”. It has evolved from the Mosaic Project and I am having so much fun designing concepts, costumes, and creating a Character!

I am also starting a blog called Portraits & Stories. This is about and for breast cancer survivors, their families, and friends. I have met two wonderful ladies so far and this project is also evolving as we go.

The third part of the project is BarbGordonPhotoCoach.com which will be on line sometime in July.
