Hey Mary,

Always good to get a chance to gain some more creative insight from you whether thru the DVDs, the wonderful workshop or now via your blog. Congrats and continued success.

BTW, I like #4, probably because it is so different from anything that I have shot as far as its color and tone.

All the best!
Rolly

Hi Mary,
I have all of your DVD’s and just love them !!! I refer to them quite often and have been trying to find the time to experiment with some of your back drop ideas.
I would love #4 (the blue backdrop) or #1 if that one is already taken.
Gorgeous backdrops !!
Thanks
Kathy

Hi Mary!

I picked up a couple of your DVDs a year or so ago and use them all the time! I also enjoyed your discussion on the backgrounds in the video, very interesting on how to make them.

My vote is for Background #2!

Thanks for your great blog!

Great to get the info about your blod. I bought a DVD some time ago due to a review by Scott Kelby but did not know that there was also a blog.

For the topic of the backgrounds I would prefer number one.

Best Regards

Congratulations on the blog, Mary, it’s really beautiful!

The blog itself is a total treat – then you’re including a CHOICE of your custom-made backdrops?! Wowser! If I get to pick, I think our photography group would really like the first.

All the best –

Tim

Congratulations Tim…You have been chosen! You will be receiving background #1!

35 Aurora May 2, 2010 at 10:29 am

Wow–what a great “grand opening” idea, Mary! 🙂

I already subscribe to your blog via my RSS feed reader (and look forward to each new entry!), but getting it through email will be even nicer.

All the backgrounds are lovely…but for my purposes, #2 would work best. (Although you made a compelling case for the last one…and the first one’s awfully pretty, too–it was a hard choice!)

The video was very enjoyable and illuminating, too–so thanks for all the details you gave.

Can’t wait to see more blog posts–the content has been terrific so far! 🙂
