If you haven’t noticed, Spring is already well on it’s way down here in Georgia. Everywhere I walk things are budding, blooming and pushing through the ground. The only issue I have with an early spring is that it means our summer is going to kill us somewhere between epic heat and...

Sorry about the complete lack of content again this week. I’ve been so busy and I really needed a mental day off last night!  However,  I have a few things in the works for you lovely readers including more actions, a new tutorial on simulated lighting, and more of my latest...

I was at the Atlanta Botanical gardens a few weeks ago. Having usually gone during the the flowery and green months, I found it a challenge to shoot all of the dead things and still try and capture a little beauty. In a way, the imagery is melancholy, as none of these roses had a chance to...

Okay, I am actually coming back from an unexpected hiatus. This past weekend was so awesome that I didn’t have any time to queue up all the posts for this week.  Thursday isn’t too late is it? These little beauties are on the Suwanee Greenway, growing over the trail. By the way,...

This is our regular waiter at Fado, Charlie. He is awesome. And yes, I know this picture is more than a year old but I suck at processing photos during really busy weeks. In other news, I am definitely toning up in preparation for bootcamp. :) But I now have no time for most anything...

I love photoshop actions. They make my life soooomuch easier. Whenever I discover an effect I love, I just redo the steps again before I forget and record them into a handy little action! Here’s one you can use, if you have Photoshop or Photoshop...

A rose at the botanical gardens, dead but still...

   Sometimes I look back at my photos from a few years ago and marvel at what I was able to accomplish despite my limited tools. This daddy long legs macro was taken using a 4.1 megapixel hewlett packard point and shoot.  It had a 1 inch screen. Yeah, check out this beast: I...

No matter how big the scene is, even the tiny presence of people will draw your eyes immediately. A beach off the Florida coast. I want to visit again soon....

Back in 2008, I was really into macro photography and was experimenting with water.  I had the pheasant’s feathers shipped in from England just to do this shoot with water! The little squares are glitter. I feel the itch to get away from people photography for a while and go back to...

I’m starting to play with soft color layers. I really wish I had gotten that dark basket from the top right out of the photo....

I went to the Botanical gardens on Sunday. Even though everything outside was dead, the weather was glorious and the flowers inside were still blooming beautifully.  I’m trying some of my newfound processing skills on this batch of photos and will be releasing something for you soon!...
