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 :)

My New Pet <3

My apologies for double blogging today however this little guy is so adorable I simply HAVE to share!



This little goofball paced outside my window all day and only calmed down when I kept him company on the back steps.

Every time I went back inside he resumed pacing, trying to attract my attention.



Meet my new pet!























And finally a video:









Have a wonderful day!

Psycadelic Birthday

Yesterday was Le Cuz' birthday - the 8th do-over of his 25th =D

We spent most of the day getting ready for his dinner party and it is safe to say I am pooped now. The boy and his friends partied until the wee hours. Made me consider relocating to a retirement home... ;o)

Wide awake after 3 hrs of sleep I decided to goof around with a couple of shots from last night.

Ladies & Gentlemen:

THE PSYCHADELIC BIRTHDAY!

I have another Blog coming up soon, introducing our new pet :)

Cloud Dance

~

One of the many reasons I love Wyoming is the amazing wall to wall sky.
Cloud formations fascinate me, inspire me.

The weather turned today and while working from home I watched the clouds roll in over the lake.

Do you like clouds? - Which is your favorite season?

A DAY AT THE PARK

***

One of my favorite things to do is peoplewatching.

These were shot in DC a couple of weeks ago.

Have a great Sunday!

More or less of Me

A few more self portraits.

Have a great weekend!

LensBaby Me

I am officially in love with my new LensBaby, and fake eyelashes :D

I have been goofing around with both tonight. Working the sweet spot is beyond tricky when shooting self portraits but at least I had fun.

I used the double glass optics without creative aperture.

All editing (except logo) is done during RAW conversion.

How do you keep yourself busy while cooped up inside?

Sweet Tea

Mark, Lisa, and I spent yesterday cruising around the Shenandoah Valley.
First stop was Staunton, VA where we visited L's family and her old boarding school.

I shot this while waiting for our lunch. Am not a fan of sweet tea except as a subject :)

No PhotoShopping beyond logo.

Hope you enjoyed the weekend. I am off to watch the rest of the Flyers game.

xoxo

LensBaby!!!

I spent most of the afternoon playing around with my new favorite toy:

Lensbaby Composer

This baby rocks sooooo bad. It takes a little getting used to working the sweet spot but I think I am getting the hang of it :)

My friend Mark gave me an assignment; to create a shot with a golf ball in it. I ended up trying to calm down the HyperPup so he could model.















Finally, a creative shot of the back yard shot through the window in "my" room (aka the guest bedroom. Can you tell this place is like my second home? =D )










I am off to help cook dinner. Happy Easter everyone!

ACTION!

Just back from watching the Danish National hockey team beat Japan.

I had almost forgot how much I love the sport.

Just a quick post before I finish packing for DC

Have a great Easter!
