I was out enjoying the beautiful weather in DC and taking pictures of the Cherry Blossoms when I was disturbed by this man. He just happened to be in my shot, which was not a big deal. There were many people out also enjoying the blossoms as well, and I was sitting patiently. He looked... Continue Reading →
Real Beauty
I stumbled onto this video when I was procrastinating and absolutely loved it! So, of course I wanted to share it. I give Dove a standing ovation to their long running Real Beauty campaign to 'provoke discussion and encourage debate' on the subject of women's self esteem.

Crazy learning curve, but once you get a hang of it, it's not... Continue Reading →

Technical difficulties
Well, after thinking I had lost my mind trying to retouch a strange blotchy pattern out of the top left hand corner of a photo, I realized that it was in the screen. I can now admit that it took me more than a few hours of getting frustrated to come to this conclusion. After... Continue Reading →

One question: Why is it soo hard to edit babies? They're all soo cute! Who cares if it's not exactly in focus (at all)! I know I don't care right now! The funny faces are the best! Excuse me, I have to go put my 'editing' hat on and get back to work! ... aww... Continue Reading →
