What a long strange trip it's been...

Twenty eight years ago this May 23rd "ACME Photo" opened it's doors!
Originally a custom B&W only lab, ACME Photo became a CibaChrome center, a Kodak Q lab for E6 slides, and eventually a PMA Digital Processing Center. Now all digital - but still remembering how we did it with film - ACME Digital Studio is delighted with the amazing new products that we can now make! Ask us about books, on demand Glicee Art Prints, custom transfers and storytelling - just to name a few. Digital photography has allowed us to bring the studio to you for Portrait Parties and capture the most amazing sports.
In the future? It's only limited to your imagination !! Join us for the next 28!

She hates this image - I love it of course...

This is Cayley just about to launch into her first axel at WIM. The look on her face is everything..... remember she is moving backwards at about 25-30 mph. She has another one to do in her program, as well as a couple other types of jumps.

Till this event she had not landed a single axel in any competition - not one. It's a big point for a figure skater, no axel jump and your pretty much done.

And she was pretty nervous - very unusual for a kid who has been skating out to the middle of a big sheet of ice alone for years.

But we listened to one of her favorite bands (really loud) on the drive to the rink and afterwards she said she just played that music in her head. "Ready Steady Go!" are some of the few English words - sums it all up.

Oh, yea she aced 'em - ALL of 'em - you go girl!
