Sara’s 2013 Kingswood Photo Options

I received a “cold call” from a fellow who insisted he was the best in the business of camp photography.  Needless to say, he did not get far with me!  In fact, I do not think it is possible to be any better than my daughter Sara is at capturing those looks on boys’ faces … Read more

Kingswood “Groupies”

Kingswood “Groupies” are not what you think they are.  In today’s report are featured huge “gang photos,” in which a huge number of boys, already re-enrolled, are featured.  100% in most of them!!   When you see this ocean of Kingswood faces, you should be happy that summer is not that far in the future. … Read more
