photography for doers and dreamers
I love to read. The library is one of my favorite places and has been since I could walk (at 9 months). Go ahead, call me a nerd. I’ve heard it before. Problem now is finding the time to read all the amazing books I find… books I know have valuable information and insight that [...]
Pin It Real isn’t how you are made. It’s a thing that happens to you… Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you [...]
FRANCOPHILE DEFINED: A Francophile (or Gallophile) is a person who has a strong positive predisposition or interest toward the government, culture, history, or people of France. This could include France itself and its history, the French language, French cuisine, literature, etc. It was a delightful movie that brought me that much closer to my beloved [...]
It would be a pretty big life-changing decision to become Amish, wouldn’t you think? Along with giving up electricity, that would mean giving up computers, telephones, TV, movies, cell phones, and the list just keeps going.

It’s perfectly suited for the teen audience it was written [...]
That’s a tall order. Finding the answer for what to do when life doesn’t turn out the way you want. Who wants to turn to Plan B? For some of us, Plan B isn’t even an option (like for Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada). For most of us “regular” folk though, we often have [...]
Is there any other time of year than Christmas when gift cards are in such high demand? Whether because of convenience or indecisiveness, or a host of other reasons, they certainly make it easy to catch up on any last minute gifts. Since our house has been stuck with the flu since last week, I [...]
When we moved to Atlanta two years ago, we were faced with changing banks. Wells Fargo wasn’t in Atlanta, so we decided to give Bank of America a try. Proximity to our home was good and they were offering a $100 sign up bonus. After the necessary hassle of switching over all of our accounts, [...]
You know the kind I mean, when everyone and their grandma uses the grocery carts, but you have no idea where their hands have been. Just writing about it makes my stomach turn. Did you know that in 2007, University of Arizona researchers found that grocery cart handles have more germs than public restrooms, making [...]
As a photographer, I am always on the lookout for ideas, inspiration and options that will enhance my images and even make my photography a little more fun. During one of my “research” sessions online, I stumbled across JHP Actions and Presets. Now I know there are a lot of actions out there, some you [...]
