I’m trying to catch up on my back log of everything.  Here’s a few shots from last week.  I’ll soon be posting stuff from as far back as last summer, may be even further back if I’m inspired enough!

So, I’ve been playing around with a new plug in called Topaz Adjust.  It’s interesting and most of it’s effects are kind of useless except for specific situations but it’s fun too.  Here’s a few shots I’ve done with it.

One of the most influential photgraphers of today, and someone I’m a big fan of, Chase Jarvis, has recently opened up a new project with a bunch of friends.  Creative LIVE! is a FREE online training site for creative individuals.  Well, mostly free.  Initial classes are run for free but if you miss them you can buy downloadable copies after the fact.  It’s a very cool idea and I’ve already signed up for a couple of the classes.

So, I did one of my first blog posts using Word press for the iPhone yesterday.   The post looked goofy from the phone but I figured it was just displaying that way on the phone only!  Turns out, nope, it was messed up in general.  And oddly I coudln’t edited it either because it had different editing options from what I know how to use.  So I just deleted the post.  SorryKelly!!

Anyway, just finished the edits tonight from a shoot with the kitties of a bride we’re photographing in May.  Izzy was a blast but Bella was moody!  Guess who’s who!  Oh wait, one of them is tagged!  hehehe

I rather enjoy doing pet portraits so if anyone want’s their pet’s portrait done, feel free to book us!  Here’s some of the shots chosen by Alana of her kitties Izzy and Bella. 

And don’t forget to enter our Mother’s Day contest! http://secondsightstudio.com/dwblog/?p=280
