Family Fun

This year I have decided to concentrate on working on my photography. For about half a year I have been following a website called I heart Faces. It's a weekly photo contest! I don't really know why I haven't entered before...but here it goes. This week's theme is Family Fun, so I decided to enter a picture I took at the beach this past summer. What do you guys think?



I've been holding a camera it seems like since the day I was born.  I learned photography in a world where Artists used 35mm cameras, developed the film in a can and printed their own photographs. I was taught that a great picture needs no editing, and that's what I try to do when doing photography. However, it is a new millenium and one must change with the times. I'm working on mastering my digital Canon like I had mastered my 35mm version. I have also learned photoshop and while I will work on pictures for clients, I like my pictures just the way they are, with movement, dark spots, highlights, etc.

Happy New Year!

2012 is the year for you to get your sinfully craftiness on! I promise this year to try to post at least once a week...so here is my first entry for 2012.

I have been selling many of my photographs through my Etsy store, so I decided to make some videos showcasing them and give my clients some history regarding them. My first video features pictures I took in 1999 on my trip to England and Ireland. I went to Europe on a study abroad trip as part of my motion pictures degree. We spent 3 wonderful weeks oversees and I must say I fell in love with Ireland.

Photos in this video include Stonehendge, The Tower of London, the Cemetery in Glendalough, Ireland, the London Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe Theater, Hever Castle and the English Coast. I used a good old 35mm camera to take these and yes...they are originally black & white. Hope you enjoy the video!
