I love this chair.  I can’t remember where I picked up this little chair, road side pit stop, dumpster dive, loading dock snag, but I know when I spotted it I had sweet love.  The seat has since broken at a workshop a couple of years ago though and is totally missing (not sure what […]

High school senior images have come a long way.  Cool actions, borders, themes ect.  But the one thing that seems fairly consistent is the the high level of retouching on the skin.  I realize that teenagers can have bad skin but I see it on good skin also.  I call it “puddin” I just crave […]

The peace sign here can mean two things, peace or surrender. Hoping for different results when I hit the register button again.  Buying a new computer and changing everything over is a royal pain.  I purchased a new Mac Pro G4 Intel awhile ago and I’m just getting around to changing over.  Yuk.

We stapled the #12 duck […]

I was visiting my neighbor the upholster and he mentioned he just donated a lot of fabric to Salvation Army.   What!?   I thought I was going to get all your scrap fabric, hummmm.    A couple of days later a dozen bolt ends were sitting […]

I used my 16-35 wide angle lens today for a glamour shoot.  The model wanted to feature her shoes and legs.  I laid on the floor and shot straight up. I wish I could remember to use my wide angle more.  Because I shoot comp cards and head shots where you don’t want distortion I […]

My mom called me from the local summer flea market trying to explain what she thought was a great find.  I couldn’t really picture it so I got in my car and drove over.  What I found was a dealer selling all kinds of belly dancer belts for $5..  It just seemed like a lot […]
