Occupy This

I'm entering a photo contest --well, I would like to enter a photo contest --I need to capture "Capitalism".  Ugh.  So many ideas...so many that have already been used!  But I'm still gonna give it a shot.  Maybe when my leg is feeling better I can get out and shoot.  Hopefully that is soon considering that I have three photo shoots this weekend, a concert, and  a party!  I'm going to be pooped out on Monday.

In other artsy  news...a friend posted an owl video on Facebook last night and I sat and watched about 15 more owl videos and before you knew it I was on an owl frenzy.  So I sat in my studio and created this tag in less than 20 minutes.  LOL - I know, I'm flippin' crazy.  :D

Fun with Filters

I've been playing with various actions on photoshop elements.  I still have sooooo much to learn about photoshop, I know very little.  But thanks to some insight from friends Chera Thompson-Meyers and Haylie Thompson, I am maneuvering my way around a bit more comfortably.  Here is a look at the Storybook Vintage filter --it's so versatile.  I love it and can't wait to use it in a lot of my outdoor photography.
