It’s another perfect day….why are you inside reading my blog?

Tuesday, August 31, 2010

This morning I was greeted by cool temperatures once more.  Arizona’s signature hyper blue skies, a slight breeze, and a strange bunny rabbit waiting by my door this morning.  I kid you not, it was like the rabbit was waiting for me to poke my head out for the morning. Of course, today I’m at [...]

A Perfect Day?

Monday, August 30, 2010

Ah yes, the perfect day.  Does it really exist? Yup.  Just had one! First off, this morning I woke up chilled, just like the other week at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.  Temperatures were very low here last night.  I’d say I got up to the 50′s.  Tucked way under the blankets, reaching [...]

And at the end of the day….well deserved rest at the Airstream

Sunday, August 29, 2010

Well, it finally happened.  I can’t believe it happened, but it did. I had my first “emergency” client. It used to be that I was electronically tethered by a cell phone and a pager.  I’d be somewhere relaxing for 5 minutes and boom.  The pager would go off with an emergency message.  This switch in [...]

Recently I’d heard that the folks over at Annalinas were shopping the place around for sale.  And today [...]

Photo retouching in progress

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

Yesterday a new client came in with a few images.  Old images.  Abused and torn images.  You know, the kinds that can really challenge you on repair and restoration work.  And let me tell you, I’ve been doing a good deal of restoration work lately. I thought I’d share an image in process, just so [...]

Another training resource – Photovision

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

As most readers know, I’ve been doing more reading and learning this year.  Nothing new for me, I’m constantly learning.  But this year I’ve branched out a little further.  Not just Photoshop, HDR, Landscape…..  now we’re playing with portraits, event photography, composites, and more! Added to this year’s personal curriculum?  Photovision.  I’d received an offer [...]

Random post Tuesday

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

No, “Random Post Tuesday” won’t be a regular feature here.  It’s just a title, so don’t worry!    With many blogs doing “No Blog Wednesdays,” or guest blogs, or other such stuff, you don’t have to worry about some type of regular feature here.  I’m keeping it all random. A Little Surprised Talking with Josh [...]
