Announcing A New Era: Celebrating The Irresistible Creative Side Of Everyday Life

How do you attract the irresistible in everyday life? Just keep your antennas on full alert and your cameras handy to record and preserve all the scintillating moments happening around you. 

 

I recently bought a Kodak ZI8 camera and absolutely love it! The compact little machine does not replace the capabilities of my 35 millimeter with interchangeable lenses and getting up close and personal for macro shots. And I still need the expertise of my videographer but you cannot deny the quality of the video for a handheld device that you can whip out of your pocket or purse to capture the world around you.

Everyday life might be:

 

*  a bluejay feeding frenzy as they dive for peanut, walnut, and grahamn cracker nuggets

 

*  mischievous squirrels defying all claims of the squirrel proof feeders

 

*  A dutiful cardinal husband feeding his feathered wife

 

*  The cheese-carving artist you meet at a grocery store cheese tasting

 

*  A painter stroking brilliant emotional hues onto a blank canvas outside under the sun

 

*  A hummingbird streaking in to extract nectar from a scarlet red hibiscus flower. 

 

*  Introducing the newest four legged member of our family

Vegas Through A Photographer's Lens

Ka-ching...Ka-ching...You've landed in Gambler's Paradise. From the time you step off the plane, the slot tunes will be playing everywhere.

Roulette, Black Jack, Craps, Poker - 24/7 living by the roll of the dice. This was my impression of Vegas and not one I wanted to get up close and personal with. But when I visited for a streaming video convention 2 years ago, I realized Vegas had much more to offer this ShutterQueen. You may want to add this larger than life metropolis to your photo opps list.
