Great new site…
I have got to say I LOVE the internet. It is full of people with a vast amount of knowledge. Of course, you can’t believe everything you see and read but for the most part, people are willing to share their time and experience with the world. Good case in point- Radiant Vista. “The Radiant Vista is a creative community of inspiration, passion, and grace. Together we pursue our dreams and explore our endless potential.”
Their Photoshop Workbench is bursting with videos that show you “how-to” do almost anything with your photos. Now, I have years of experience with Photoshop but this site makes me feel like an imbecile! They have really stretched the envelope with being creative. I am a purest though. With a strong photojournalism background, I do not advocate some of the extreme changes that can and are made to photographs (hence why you cannot believe everything you see).
Here is an example of changes I made to a photo using the portrait video…
Auction and Art
Ah, yes the frustrations of trying to buy supplies locally has ruined me again. There seems to be a
distinct lack of choices here for making life as a professional easier! No wonder I have become the web order queen. Some of my favorite spots are B&H Photo, Boyd’s Imaging and Light Impressions. When I go looking for supplies, I need them. I rarely plan ahead (I know, I know). Thankfully though Michael’s still carries my stand-by frames that are quick and easy and cheap. Most people will re-frame anyway to match their decor or existing frames so cheap is the best route…I’m sorry, amke that INEXPENSIVE because these frames are pretty well made for what you pay! anyway, this is just one of the three Savannah historic landmarks that I am donating to be auctioned off for the St. Frances Cabrini Mardi Gras Auction. It features live music by the Ben Tucker Trio and Sonny Dixon as the guest auctioneer. Tickets are still available and can be bought at the door, so come on over! I will also be donating a Portrait Package which includes an on location session with me, a set of proofs and an 8×10 enlargement. Here is a sample of one of my recent portraits…
Ian is my husband’s newest addition to his side of the family. He is ADORABLE! I will blog more on this shoot later as I was thrilled with the new set-up I used.

Hello world!
Wow, a new forum for my creative juices. I am very excited about this new blog. Techno geek that I sometimes am, I still wait to jump in on ocassion. Surprised? don’t be. I am a mix of contradictions, just ask my family. Just a few words about me…I love to create. I think that is just one way we are made in God’s image. Creating to me is as necessary as water and food. Prevent me from creating and I will go insane and take everyone with me. There are some days it is a very short trip!
