Lisbeth

Warning:

Stopping by my house for coffee may leave you laying on the damp lawn late afternoon =D

Thank you Lisbeth, for being a good sport.

What is on your agenda this fall?

Vintage

I have been on a retro/vintage spree lately. Subtle nuances, powder dusted colors...

Yesterday I ordered Pretty Basics for PhotoShop by Amanda's Actions and spent tonight playing around with them while re-editing a few portraits.

I might just have to get the Very Vintage Actions as well =D

What do you think of these? As usual critique is most welcomed :)

The Cuz, rough

A few rough shots of my cousin whom continuously stepped out of the light. I am not entirely pleased with the cast shadows but oh well. Maybe some day I can get him to stay still for more than five minutes =D (riiiiiight...)













I'll catch up on comments tomorrow. For now I am off to bed.

Sweet dreams everyone.

Project 365 - Day 45 Allan

I have a tendency to "adopt" close friends and think of them as surrogate siblings.

My extended family is large and wide spread, geographically as well as personality wise: from Cowgirls and Goofballs, to MasterBrains and Humanitarians, to Angels and Chocolate Goddesses =D

The common denominator is the goodness and strength in these people's hearts.

Meet my friend and "brother" Allan:


































Happy Sunday, everyone - and special congratulations to Holly, and to Steve (-slj) on their respective engagements. Blessings and hugs to you.

Project 365 backlog - day36 and 42 Winter Wonderland

I am getting a little tired of snow. Although pretty it is also cold and slippery, which are not on my list of favorite things. And to think, I used to compete at figure skating! =D Ah, the irony.

I am enjoying the view from my house, as usual. Feel entirely blessed to have so much natural beauty before me but must admit I look forward to spring when the red squirrels come out to play, and the days are longer. Currently the sun is gone around 5 PM.

The following images were captured around my neighborhood within a week.













Finally, you non-texture believers may as well cover your eyes because once again I have been having way too much fun fiddling around with one of my self-portraits.

This one has a tribal feel to the background







And this one makes me green with... Youth =D







I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's weekend.

If you are fortunate to have a special someone in your life, be sure to let him/her know how much they mean to you.

Project 365 - day 39 Artsy

I haven't been shooting all that much lately - mostly candid shots of my amazingly fantastic goofball friends. Which although great is not exactly what I want to post here (translation: no one needs to see three gorgeous women pulling faces).


Instead I have spent a considerable amount of time fiddling with PhotoShop, teaching myself new techniques.


So, how do you feel about these? Which is your favorite?





























Have a great week!

xoxo
