Wedding Photographer

Did I fail to mention that I was NOT impressed with the photographer and his wife?
He was irritable and cranky.
Was rude to a lady in a wheelchair.
And took very few pictures.
When we took some, he stalked us.

I could have done better.

Photo's

Colleen is SUCH a nag.
I worked on editing photo's yesterday.

I need to be more of a push for it -- I spend entirely too much time looking and thinking.. and looking and thinking some more.

My need is to look at it, decide and MOVE ON !!

Once that is done, I can be more confident in myself.
And eliminate the "but what about"s.....

Photography

I don't post many of my photo's.
The one at the top of the blog is mine, taken at Big Sur.
I can not get enough of Big Sur --wish I was rich.

Here are several others:

Adventure begins tomorrow.

I leave for an adventure tomorrow -- without my intrepid adventure partner, Colleen.
:(
BIG frowny face.

I leave for Lexington for a three (3) day equine photography workshop.
And boy have the nerves struck deep this morning!
Not sure why, but all of a sudden I am shaky, nervous, and just all around anxious.
Everything but the car and the hotel are paid for.
And low and behold, when I went to pay registration fee via Paypal -- There were these "Paypal" dollars that I knew NOTHING about.
$200+ of them.
And that ate up some of the fee!

Probably my nerves stem from my shyness (yeah yeah yeah).
And my fear that people will find out that I don't know what I am doing.

The workshop coordinator, Matt Wooley, is so friendly. We've chatted a couple of times on the phone -- I feel very comfortable with him.

Going in to this like a SPONGE and am going to soak up as much knowledge as I can!

Photoshop

I must settle down and force myself to work with Photoshop.
There may be a moment this year when I have to do more photo's.

Have a copy -- wish there was someone here to work with me with it.
Must. Spend. More. Time. With. It.

Or I guess I can check out "Photoshop for Dummies" from the Library.

My friend, the library :)

Vote for Pookie

One of my photo's is up on line at the AC Press:

It's the Pookie Pug.

I'd appreciate a vote if anyone is so inclined -- only ONE vote, per email address, per ANY photo in the contest.
So if you vote for one, then vote for another, the first one is cancelled out.

Oh -- and you have to roll your mouse over the photo to see the entire photo.

Yard work

I worked really hard this morning after I read the paper and drank my coffee..........
