      I’m so sorry for the inconvenience. I’m looking into why this happened. Anyone who voted thru the comments, as you did, will be counted accordingly.

    • jessica carter - March 1, 2014 - 11:28 am

      The buttons still worked. I know people voted for jameson after 7 and the #’s were changing.

    • Jennifer Bates - March 1, 2014 - 11:35 am

      Thank you for letting me know; people could vote up until 11:59pm Feb 28th. I’m guessing the site went down temporarily for a few folks. Regardless, people could vote via the poll or via the comments or via the display in KeyBank. Votes will be tabulated over the weekend and I’m so excited to announce the winner. Votes will be tabulated according to IP address from the poll, any votes via the comments, and from voting slips from the display that was in the lobby of KeyBank in Tecumseh throughout the month of February. I look forward to announcing the winner on Monday morning!! Thank you all for your participation!

    Thank you so much for everyone who participated! I’d like to remind everyone that votes will be tabulated based on unique IP addresses from both the POLL and the COMMENTS section of this blog (according to the rules listed above) AND BY HAND CAST VOTES that were collected during the entire month of February at KeyBank in Tecumseh MI. I look forward to announcing the winner Monday morning!! Thank you all for your participation!ReplyCancel

I came across a poignant article in this month’s issue of Redbook (June 2013) that struck a raw chord with me.  (I should mention now that this post is 100% non-photography related.)  If you have loved ones, stick around, you probably need to hear this.  And no, this isn’t my typical upbeat flowery post, but […]

Neil snapped this shot of me and the girls just before we hit the road to celebrate Mother’s Day with extended family.  It’s not a perfect shot; we needed a refector or fill-light, but I knew my chances of getting this shot would decrease (rapidly) if I started pulling out fancy equipment!   But it’s […]
