So I brought my camera because I SWORE I was going to document it this year but Miss Amanda Harris Herzberger stripped me of my D3 and did the honors! Which was kind of nice for me to just focus on the people's reactions as they saw themselves being unveiled... ends up I couldn't really see but Amanda did a great job of catching them for me, so thanks honey!!!
There were people asking where they can buy more copies of their prints- follow this link and sign up, they should all be up by Friday from the past four years!

Here are some highlights from the night!
My right hand gal Robin Dini and the illustrious Robert Norman, MD... pre-unveiling
Miss Krystyle double fisting it with not one but TWO Canons!
Mike has stepped over to the Canon dark side, momentarily.... it's OK he had some cocktails, he made a mistake. He is forgiven! ;)
I am clearly laughing at something Robert Norman just said!
My big guy Jack Bibbs
Jack just loves to make fart noises and was demonstrating his skill
During the unveiling Jack couldn't tell me enough that 'this is SO BORING Mom!' Like a thousand times! Thanks big guy! It was his and Georgie's first year coming... and maybe their last! ;)
Hartford Housing Authority head Alan Green with his wife just moments after they saw his portrait
Sandra Stern, another one of the nine is wiping away what I hope is a tear of joy!
Hyacinth Yenne, who is one of FIFTEEN kids...! Checks out her portrait
Little Miss Georgie Picklepuss tries to get my attention during the unveiling - I was on the other end of the restaurant
Donna Berman, who is head of the Charter Oak Cultural Center in Hartford, gets some back patting after her portrait is unveiled
Here Donna is taking it all in...
I just can't stop smiling and laughing all night, it was so much fun to see everyone's reactions
The man, the myth, the legend...MAYOR MIKE himself!
Krystyle doing her weird one eyed willy thing while she shoots
Miss Harris talking to who?? Probably Mr. Herzberger!
Miss Freckles herself, Kim Romano!
Our good buddies Nicole & Jennifer of recent wedded bliss fame came by and spent the evening with us all... I can only imagine what Mike was telling Jen
The Marantz's in full effect!
ahh yes, Miz Dini! ooot OOOOOT!
