The Reed family include triplets who are 7 and very handsome. The boys didn’t seem to mind the cold at all and were bouncy enough to keep warm. Cancel Post was not sent - check your email addresses! Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email.

Photography was a hobby for me for many years while my career path meandered from high school art teacher in Carmel, California to working as an art director for an advertising agency in San Diego and then later continued along that path when I move to Jacksonville, Florida. In the early years of my photography business, I continued to explore my fine art photography and invested in a large Epson printer to make fine art prints that were sold in galleries around the country. On my 27″ iMACs, I only keep current client images and stored in four main folders: Portraits, Weddings, Fine Art Photography, and Paintings. I always designed my books with traditional design methods, making thumbnails of the chosen images, design sketches and placing them on pages in Photoshop with no templates.

Sometimes I find myself in acute back pain at my computer “playing” with an image to enhance and create an effect I envision. There are so many photoshop actions that you can purchase and also I make my own actions of effects that I want to try on other images. Photographing crackling paint, water, rocks or wood textures and then softly layering  into certain areas of a photo alters the feeling sometimes dramatically. Each image calls to me to create something more special than when I originally shot it.
