Love Getting New Toys! { Canon MR-14 ex Ring Flash }
February 11th, 2012So last week I decided it was time to treat myself to a new photo toy. But what to buy? – what to buy? There are soo many I want err need! Yes I NEED a ring flash. It was time. Since I have been getting back into shooting more macro photography & with so many pieces coming in weekly from Bees & Buttercups Jewelry to shoot – it was time. I Need to buy a ring flash! Are you convinced? I sure am. And so I ordered it! Here are 2 shots taken. One by adjusting exposure, & using a white reflector card – which by the way is hard to hold while shooting macro by oneself. And another taken at a comfortable exposure handheld range but with the canon macro ring flash. Neither photo was altered other then a small amount of color correction & tiny tweak of exposure. Can you tell the difference? I dare you to guess!
Can’t wait to try it out photographing portraits! Now to decide want I want .. err … need to buy next!?

Addicted to Pinterest
January 27th, 2012Inspiration & art found on the internet is everywhere. I tried to keep track by having a million, somewhat organized, bookmarks saved to my computer. But who has time to remember where I put all that? Once a year I dig through & clear it out, just to keep my computer organized. Wasted time is what that is. If only there was a way to keep all my inspirations & favorite links in one place??
Then one day someone asked me ‘Do you pinterest?’ Do I what? And now I am addicted! For those you you who have never heard of it, let me see if I can describe. It’s like having a gigantic wall with bulletin boards all over it. Each board has a theme you create. Every time you find something on the internet that inspires, you can pin that link/photo to a board. These boards are shares & followed by your fellow pinners.
I love it – finally a place to keep all my inspirations & ideas with photos. So now I don’t have to spend 20 minutes looking for the link to that Lemon Blueberry cheesecake cookie I want to make this weekend or the dress I am drooling over at Anthropologie. It’s all there!
And I have to say I get a little thrill to see my own photos from the blog or etsy shop wandering around pinterest under someone’s inspiration or favorite photos board. To make it even easier, I’ve added a new button at the top of each post for pinning. 
OK so pinterest may not be for everyone. But for those of us that are semi-disorganized artist types, a bride looking to find her color palette, collect her favorite dress, bouquet, or cake design or someone just trying to find a place for inspiration will instantly fall in love. But of course this is coming from someone with over 1000 pins & counting. Happy pinning!
