My Sister's Dining Room Gallery

my sister lives about 45 minutes away from me, which means i don't get to see her or her family as much i as would like. she is in the process of redecorating her whole house but her dining room is what she is working on right now. might i just add she is fantastic at this kind of stuff. she comes up with ideas to colors that i had no idea would go together. anyway...she is wanting to hang large (8x10 pictures framed in 16x20 frames) pictures on the wall of her dining room. the walls are painted a really cool dark dreamcicley orange (see i told you see comes up with some cool ideas)... and she wants to use nature photos that either she or i have taken. she called the other day and wanted to see some more photos for her to pick from but since we live 45 mins apart and we are both extreeeeeeemly busy right now we couldn't get together this weekend to look at what i have on my computer, so here are some of my submissions for my sister's dining room gallery.

Where exactly did April go?

As I look back over this blog I noticed I haven't posted in over 2 weeks. The only thing I can think of is some kind of space-time-warp thing happened and I lost all of the month of April, well almost 3 weeks of it... Actually, I have been extremely busy but that is no excuse for not keeping my promise to myself to post at least 1-2 times a week. So, to wipe the slate clean and start all over again let me show you what I was doing 2 weekends ago in Baltimore, MD.
The weekend of the 19th I attended a photographic lighting workshop in Baltimore, MD. These 3 beautiful ladies were some of the models who came out to help us. Kerena, Lindsey, and Melissa were wonderful to work with and very professional through out our learning process. It was great to be able to do nothing for 9 hours but think and talk photography with others who love it as much as I do.
So in between working a job that pays the bills, working with teenagers 11+ hours a week, and working to keep my house from junking up around me I love to work with my camera to produce beautiful pictures. Can you tell how I handle everything else?

I hope you have a great weekend.
