Theme Thursday – AGED ***** Just another quickie tip, that I’m sure is not news to anyone.  I have some older tips that discuss looking at your environment and finding an outdoor studio when determining places to shoot.   I just […]

Ah, spring!  When the peals of laughter on the playgrounds abound and the children frolic after being unleashed from their cages after a long winter indoors.  And it was a long, long cold (very, very cold) winter. I took these […]

Don’t you just love spring? (Yes, I know it has been spring for much of the country for at least a month now, but we are just getting it.  We have spring fever like you would not believe!)  We have […]
