Love You : A Look a...

We’re up in Tennessee for the three day weekend. I just had to share this shot taken at a Parrot rescue up here. These two love birds held hands and groomed each other! The rescue had an amazing assortment of parrots. This one really caught my eye. A couple of them were kind of quirky. :)...

Manfred

He spent the week at my parent’s house.  I complain about him a lot since he messes up my stuff but I missed him a lot this whole week. I’m also trying out a new wordpress theme I bought from Graph Paper Press. It lets me display my large images (and of course linking to even larger!)...

I’ve been attending this social event / art class for almost a year now run by a company called ‘Sips n Strokes’. They have two locations in Atlanta (Dunwoody & East Cobb), and a third opening soon in Buckhead! My friends, co-workers and I are regulars. There are usually 30+ people...

Antiquing May24

Antiquing

Roswell is a great place to find old odds and ends, especially in the historic district. It’s haul from my house (1 hr +) but I’m over there all the time since my parents live there. This weekend I found myself trawling the antique store scene. I walked out with more loot than usual and...

Showcase: Portraits

Photographers who manage to capture expression always are on a pedestal of respect in my eyes. It’s a very difficult task. Today’s showcase features artists young and old who captured emotion and expression...

Getting Artistic

I love painting. I love small things. So I’m painting on small things. Go figure. I found these beautiful little canvasses at Hobby Lobby along with something known as ‘Artist Cards’. They’re pretty much small cards made of different mediums for different art. They’re 2 x 3...

Playlist: Trance May07

Playlist: Trance

I kinda got into Trance music at my first job at an IT firm back in 2004. I had fired up Yahoo radio for the eleventy millionth time and just out of curiosity chose the eurodance station. One extreme coding session and four hours later, I was totally hooked. So now I listen to classic rock,...

My Babies

I have a wonderful trio of kitties. The day after I got my camera they were all outside on the deck and I took a few photos. The wood smells awesome Missy never sits on the edge so when I put her there she got kinda bugeyed. This is Molly. This is Molly’s son, Manfred a.k.a. Manny This is...

It’s Here! My Canon T2i First Shots. May04

It’s Here! My Canon ...

I finally got my camera last night and boy am I blown away at what it allows me to do creatively. 1) The live view is unbelievably useful for macro photography. Now I can actually SEE what I am composing instead of taking a guess and holding my camera near the subject. 2) Color pickup in this...
