Hot Picks - Here on the SAC Site ,is a link to a cool and chic local photographer.

We like her stuff , so why not spread the joy?

Need a photographer? Want to check out a photographer's work?

Check out Gladwyne's Joanne Posse Photography and also see where MainLineClicks popped up a couple photos including one called "Perfect Butterfly". Joanne also has a studio in Manayunk at "The Mill Studios".

We hear she used to be part of Susan Beard Design once upon a time --- We assume that is o.k. to reference because it's not like it is a state secret or something if it was, we assume that Ms. Beard would have removed Joanne from her old website from Party Space featuring Joanne! On that site Joanne was described thusly:

Since she graduated from the Philadelphia Art Institute in 1997, Joanne's work has been published in Philadelphia Magazine, Player Magazine and International Jeweler Magazine. She has also worked for fashion show producers and modeling agencies both in Philadelphia and New York City.....Joanne combines all of her skills with her enthusiasm for working with clients. The result, as all of her clients will tell you, is a storybook documentary captured on film....Her fine art focuses on European landscapes, capturing the architectural beauty of other cultures.

Anyway, we compared the two, and we're sure there are different price points as one is a huge studio and the other is an independent....and the independent, this Joanne, seems very artistic...her photos seem to speak, so enjoy a peek at the website!!!

We love to promote local business people, especially artists, and in case you missed out coverage for the January edition of First Friday Main Line, we have two more local discoveries for you:

Local artist Leslie Ehrin - her studies of Tuscany and modern impressionistic style are a fun feast for the eyes.

We also discovered a Wynnewood caterer who also has a restaurant down on South Street - ChriStevens - now delightful Christine's restaurant is Mimosa Ristorante (215) 238-0144 901 South St Philadelphia, PA 19147 - it's a BYOB - bring your appetite!

Michael Klein wrote up Mimosa in late November - now some of us were there after he did his review and we have to disagree on his desciption of the portions -we found them to be just right - so many restaurants load your plate like it is the "Last Supper".
