group photo of the Circle City Ringers from June 2007Yesterday my handbell ensemble, the Circle City Ringers, had a new group photo taken. (I say “my” handbell group only in the sense that I’m a member of the group.) The first set of pictures was taken over a year ago. Since then we’ve lost one member and gained five more. It was well past time for a new picture. We used a local company called Portrait Innovations who took pictures of us for an hour with two different outfits and quite a few different poses. At the end we got to choose which of the pictures we preferred; we got ten different pictures with 3 sheets each and three complimentary 10×13 pictures of any of the ten finals. We also got all ten raw images on a CD, so we can use it for the website, marketing table, promotional materials, etc. All for $159!

Above is one of our pictures, with all of our current members (minus one who had a perpetual schedule conflict). How cool!
