The wonderful Mr. Marty O'Keefe celebrated his 95th birthday. He is a legend here in Rochester as well as in Ireland where he returns every year. 350 of his friends and family attended this wonderful Gala. There were dancers, we played music and everyone had a wonderful time. Thanks to the amazing committee who spent countless hours putting it together. On a side and personal note, this is the first time I shot session pictures with my SLR and I'm pretty excited. I'm sure they will only get better!
