Monday Morning

Well, It’s Monday and I’m trying to look really busy focus on the tasks at hand.
I’ve got photos to retouch, print, and deliver- the things one has to do in order to get paid, but I soooo want to be outside doing Spring things and enjoying the sunshine!

With that in mind, I remind myself that it is the disipline of doing the mundane that makes the extraodinary possible. 

Happy Monday everybody!

Storytelling

I’ve just been to Jason D.Moores blog, and as usual; I spend WAAAAYYY too much time there! ( LOL-sorry Jason )
Anyway, I came across his post aboutstorytelling and  who your audience is you are trying to “conect” to photographically, and tips on how to do it better. I saw myself in some of the comments and points he was making  - funny how you can find inspiration when you are least looking for it. Kudos Jason!

So, everybody go and take a look- just be sure to come back later!!!

Last of Pittsburgh ( for a while)

OK- Here are the last few images I picked to share with you- hope you’ve enjoyed them!

More Pittsburgh Favorites

Some more of my favorites. I really like the fish- he was a piece of graffitti that I brushed a few designs on to go with it. I have no idea what he might mean to the person who painted him; but I thought he was cool.

The “Pittsburgh” Project

I’ve had a few people tell me they liked the video I did with images from pittsburgh- and a few asked which were my favorites, so here are a couple…I’ll post some more over the next few days.
