Dearest readers and friends, I am so excited to finally be able to share why I have been missing these past few weeks … Tuesday, January 10th I was sitting in a movie (Twilight – during “the scene” no less!) when I noticed my girlfriend’s phone lighting up. I looked over to see Corey’s number [...]

Photography Friday ~ Critique Me {Week 11}
I’m baaaaaaaaaack! It’s a brand new Friday and a brand new Critique Me! Today in the video I did a semi-quick critique on 3 photos (see photos I critiqued below) and an extra little bonus. I’m all for bonus material and since I’ve been MIA for way too long it’s the least I could do [...]
Photography Friday: Eradicating stiff, nervous & awkward subjects forever!
This house is crazy as I’m wrapping up some work stuff and planning to leave the Midwest for Southern Cali tomorrow morning! So, there will be no ‘Critique Me’ video today. Instead, I wanted to share a post I wrote for MCP’s blog this week about how to ‘Eradicate Stiff, Nervous & Awkward Subjects Forever!’ If [...]

Something a little different today. Lisa asked on the Facebook page if I’d give a tutorial on curves. The answer is yes! : ) A short tutorial on curves, levels (and why I prefer levels over curves), cropping for a more pleasing composition and some easy tricks using layers: Have a fun weekend! jc

Photography Friday: Critique Me {Week 6}
Happy Friday to you! I’m doing something a bit different today by doing the critique video style. It took me about 1/2 the time aaaannnnd I was able to do SEVEN pictures instead of just three.

Photography Friday: Critique Me {Week 5}
Week 5 means it’s been 10 weeks since we started down this path. Good gah, where does the time go, for real!? Photo 1: Sometimes I look at other photographers’ portfolios and their Facebook pages and interviews and Twitter uploads and all of their photos look flawless. You know what I mean? It’s as if [...]
