This time whilst Spring has arrived in Dublin, the snow is still falling constantly and winter seems never ending. It's been the longest winter in years with record snowfalls recorded. However, once there is a break in the storms, there are some amazing photo opportunities to be found in the surrounding area. All our shoots here have been in the new studio in downtown Kitchener which is in an old grungy converted box factory building which works really well. The image shows the only remaining covered bridge in Ontario, known locally as the 'Kissing Bridge'.</div>Art and Soultag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931120206018940619.post-1636952072575216912008-03-18T11:46:00.000-07:002008-03-18T11:51:46.262-07:00<a href="http://www.grainneduggan.com/blog/uploaded_images/CLOAKED-IN-MOONLIGHT-(2)-749244.JPG"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.grainneduggan.com/blog/uploaded_images/CLOAKED-IN-MOONLIGHT-(2)-749226.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The Annual PPOC Image Competition showcases the best in Canadian Photographic Imaging.

There is a lot happening with us - new studios at both locations, lots of fantastic shoots planned throughout the year. We are looking forward to keeping you posted on some of our new work and whatever else is going on!</div>Art and Soul
