I haven’t tested in forever.  I’ve taken the last 3 months off from testing to start this blog and learn a few new software programs like Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Power Point, Direct Mail, WordPress ect…  It’s been a long hard road with a lot of sitting. I normally test pretty much every week and I need […]

Commercial models audition for print and Television.  Their head shots and the shots that pertain to the audition are sent.  The agency has a database, the Booker goes through their images and sends what they think is appropriate for that job.  They normally send 3 or 4 images of each model, one image for acting.

Well, at least those flowers, spoken from a workshop attendee today. 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 […]

My peony tree is in bloom this week, the flowers are as big as saucers.  They last such a short time it’s a shame.  So once a year I can get this shot. When workshop students ask my advice what to shoot I always mention high key.  I find it so refreshing and so do […]
