May you all have a great holiday.

Last week I had the pleasure of making a group photograph of the talented area ladies planning the first Rochester International Women’s Day. An official holiday in 14 countries, their hope is to inspire recognition and celebrate the accomplishments of women. The event will feature Chair Jamie Columbus’ “Earth Tones Women” exhibit at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center—a mosaic of photographs and paintings from her trips to multicultural environments in Africa, Asia, South America, and the Middle East.
