Something new
I'm working on some new techniques... incorportating blur and texture to create art pieces from my photographs... I am in love with the way this one turned out.Wednesday, September 19, 2007
I've been tagged!!!
Ok, I've been "tagged" by my good friend and fellow photographer, Megan Peck, and I'm supposed to list on my blog 8 things people might not know about me... since I'm a pretty open book, this could be hard but here goes:
1. I am addicted to diet Dr. Pepper... seriously... its a problem - lol!
2. After college, one of my first "real" jobs was as a stockbroker's apprentice on Wall Street. Part of my job involved roasting coffee beans and setting up "tastings", and gentlemen who were so called coffee experts would come in to test the batches of coffee for the stock exchange. I would serve, and they would drink a mixure of ground coffee beans and hot water, but they did not swallow it - they would spit it into these huge spitoons. Yuck!
3. My college degree is in social work.
4. I was raised Roman Catholic, but consider myself an agnostic... which means I believe in God, but do not ascribe to any one particular "religion" (sorry Mom) ... which leads me to #5...
5. I consider the fact that I am alive right now a true miracle. On November 19,1999 I was just moments from death due to massive blood loss following the birth of my youngest child. It is only by the Grace of God and a fantastic doctor that I am here.
6. On a lighter note... I snore. Yup, I admit it. Megan, if you are reading this... I hope you know what you're in for next month! :)
7. Though born and bred in the north, I am a southern girl at heart... my favorite book is and always has been Gone with the Wind... and dont even get me started on the virtues of "Steel Magnolias"! My dogs have been named "Shelby" and "Tara", after a character in Steel Magnolias and the plantation in Gone With the Wind. If I'd had a daughter, I planned her middle name to be "Scarlett". :)
8. I cant dance!

Today's Pick...
Just a new picture of my son... who is growing up way too fast. I wanted this one to have a moodier, darker look to reflect that, while still maintaining vibrant colors.
