For the Love of Art

Wednesday = T-minus nine days till vacation!!! A toast to the sunny beaches of the Florida Keys.
I now have photos for sale in my store! I know it's been a while, but it's coming now. This is one of my new favs. My lovely cousin combined with a sweet color study. I'd like to work on some more like this.
One of the reasons it takes so long for me to get things posted for sale is because I keep second guessing myself. Is this photo really good enough? Would anyone actually want to buy it? Hang it on their wall? I can always find something about it that's less than perfect. I think I'm too much of a perfectionist in that arena. . .
Maybe if I can sell enough photos I'll be able to get a better camera...........................................sorry, dreamin' a little.
Peter comes home on Tuesday! YAY, I haven't seen my little bro in 6 whole months.
I'll leave you all with a question and one more new photo. The question: WHAT kind of photos would you look for/like to see???? Help me out here! That's all for now. Peace out homeys.

New Store Musings

I've been working on a new storefront. A name under which to sell photography, paper goods, wedding invites, and any other artsy things that grab my weekly fancy! The current number one name is "Maddox Studios." For those of you who don't watch obscure TV shows, I will explain.
"The House of Elliot" is a fabulous British TV show which I happened to spot in the library. Having a secret love of fashion and a desire to know more about its inner workings, I naturally checked it out. Unfortunately there are only three seasons. The charming male lead is Jack Maddox, portrait photographer extraordinaire. Thus the name Maddox Studios.
Comments? Any other suggestions? As some of you may know I LOVE doing company branding. Business cards, packaging, promotional flyers, etc. My first thoughts are for the business cards. I really like the idea of having one card design but several different images, so that not all the cards are exactly the same. Since the focal point of this business is photography, that is not too difficult. The question is: color, sepia, black & white? What to do. I like the sepia on the left, but b & w would be classic as well. Hmmm. I guess it's time to play with photoshop! Here's one other image I was considering.

Well, I am currently watching Veronica Mars, an excellently exciting mystery show, prematurely cancelled after the third season. Sigh. I must now go play in Photoshop while I the baby is actually sleeping.
Oh yeah, Adam got a new job, Yay! The pay is less but the stress should be way less.
Ok, I'm off for real. Thinking of you Kim and Linds... Good luck with finals!
