I think my laptop...

has finally kicked the bucket. I worked all day yesterday in trying to restore it but nada! Its only a few years old. WAAAHHHHH! I might take it to the computer repair place and have them bring her back to life, but Im afraid she will never be able to do what I need her to do for editing pictures.



SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO black friday couldn't come soon enough. I recently bought myself a hot HP for the shop that I adore. Shes going to come home with me since Ive already loaded all my plug ins for my Photoshop CS3 and on black friday Ill brave the crowds and buy a new computer for the shop ;)



We pretty much did NOTHING all weekend and it felt SOOOO good. I even took a 2 hour nap yesterday.

Im going to go down to a new Studio today at some point and meet with a local photographer and see what sort of lenses he is selling. Im in the market for a few and rumor has it he has them for a good price so we shall see.

Playing around in photoshop....

My Mother In Laws has the most beautiful backyard, She has quite the green thumb:

And it begins .....

the start of a photography blog.

I need a place to document my trials and errors.

I have alittle over a month to PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE before my first shoot that doesn't involve friends and family. So until then I'll be shooting anything thats not quick enough to get out of the way of my lense.

Berkley, My dear dear 16 week old lab. He moves quicker then my three year old, but he cant yell at me to "STOP!"




Learning Photoshop for Pictures is completely different then learning it for Graphic Design. Suprisingly!

My Dear Son! Only likes his picture taken on his terms!




And if all else fails! I can always shoot nature ;)
