My Birthday Specials

To celebrate my birthday today I want to offer a couple of specials on my photography. There are a couple of special dates that, if scheduled for, will receive a 15% discount. These dates are 6/7/08 and 8/8/08.

I have had a lot of requests for my photography work without the prints or albums. To accomidate this I will add a 'bare bones' package. It will be my photographic services, a web gallery, and the images with basic retouching on disc for $1,195.

I have had to pass a few clients off to fellow photographers as my schedule fills up. If you see I am booked and want a recommendation for another photographer, I can help. As most know I am a member of the NH Professional Photographers Asso as well as the New England and National Assoications so I have a lot of great talent to draw from.

NH Orchid Show

Each year we Winter weary New Englanders welcome the NH Orchid Show as it brightens our spirits and reminds us that Spring is just around the corner. Right...I'll believe that when I see it! With Canon in hand I managed to capture a few samples of the floral artist's work. Countless varieties. I may make gift cards with some of the photographs.

PHOTO TIP: See it in person next year if you are in the Nashua, NH area. Bring your camera, then you make some gift cards too.

I decided to sit and enjoy a coffee before heading out into the cold and glad I did. Three great photographers joined me and we shared several ideas. I got the better end of that deal. I am sure that our paths will cross again. For more photos of the orchids go to my site then choose galleries and then choose 'Orchid Show'.

February Artist of the Month

I was again fortunate to be chosen Artist Of The Month for February at the Manchester Artist Association with the "The Bride" photograph below. It will hang for the month at Members First Employees Credit Union. This is extra special to me as I have been a member there for decades as a Manchester Firefighter. The bride, Shannon, is featured in the Gallery of 'Shannon & Gary'.

Shannon

Canadian Lynx

Photo tip: have your camera ever ready for photo op like I had of this great looking cat in my back yard. According to those in the know, it is a rare Canadian Lynx. She has visited us twice so far.
2/23/08 NOTE: I have mixed comments on my little fury friend. Some are convinced that it's a bobcat. What do you think?? In case you're wondering, she hasn't been back for a 3rd visit yet.

Two Beezy

I have been a member of The Manchester Artist Association for a couple of years. I finally got brave and entered my photography next to all the other media in December. I boomed!! I tried again in January and won Photographer of the Month and the piece hung for the month at Suddenly Susan's. It's a nice feeling because it is choosen by all the members at the meeting, not just a hand full of judges. It's one of the first shots that I took with my Canon Rebel XT.

Fred & Freda - senior newly weds

This is Fred and Freda. And where does an 86 year old groom take his 70 year old bride....to a Christian resort in the Bahamas.

Daggett 2007 Christmas Letter

Daggett 2007 Christmas Letter
Greetings All,
Our New Year’s eve was spent at home with Chinese food and a movie.
Events: Jessica D. baby shower, Alyssa W. wedding, photographed Joe L. & helicopter ride to girl friend in Plymouth MA, Rachael P. wedding, Heather P. wedding (I photographed and Kathy made the cake), Carol J. picnic, Maureen T’s 60th BD party, Irene D. art show (2 of them), Thanksgiving at Melissa & Brian’s, 4 Christmas parties..
Real estate is slow so I officially added a Photography business….check it out www.DennisDaggett.com , I also joined Manchester Artist Asso & NH Professional Photographers Asso. I photographed Shannon W., Michelle B. & Kellen S. weddings, I attended Ritz Photography classes & was a guest on www.PhotoTalkRadio.com, I was honored with the Chamber of Commerce Grant McIntosh Volunteer of The Year Award (they snuck Kathy and Melissa in for the surprise), Kathy attended many medical seminars.
Kathy and I went on a Caribbean cruise, Kennebunk ME (I snuck a picture of former President Bush), Loon Lake (complete with loons) in Plymouth NH w/the family, Las Vegas (1,300 pics – see them on the galleries at www.DennisDaggett.com ), Kittery Point ME (family outing) and to the Mt Washington Hotel (huge renovations going on),
I went alone to Washington DC, Naples FL, Chicago (very clean & lots of trees and flowers), Portland OR, & Church Landing in Meredith NH most of which was business.
We added a granite counter top and Franke sink to the kitchen. I put in a new Pella double full glass front door, had the yard landscaped and stone patio put in then had the drive way paved and sealed. The place finally looks decent. It only took 20 years!!!!
I was casually looking for a couple of years and in May I invested in a 1989 Corvette convertible (red/red) & entered a few car shows. Life is goooooooood!
Worse thing I did this year was to try Rolfing (a deep/painful massage) don’t waste your money!
In closing we fondly remember those that passed away: Cousin Dave R. (62 - cancer), Rikki S. (cancer), Steve R. (52 - firefighter), Joe L. (20 - Muscular Dystrophy).
We hope that your year was a good one and pray God bless you and your family in 2008.
Best Wishes,
Dennis & Kathy Dennis@DennisDaggett.com
