Wow just wow... I have reached a seemingly unreachable goal with my blog, yes friends after months of posting I HAVE DONE IT!!! I have my first follower my numero uno, someone who cares and is interested in my blog (and happens to be my sister) so thank you Canadacaty1 I will do my best to provide you, my one follower with the greatest photo content I can or at least some neat stuff every now and again.

Just a quick photo that I didn't take, but it's my favorite...

Neat stuff

I've been cruising the net lately for... well just for, and I've found some really cool photo sites. Something for everybody, here are the ones I liked the best enjoy...

The first is  http://www.zoomalbum.com/ this is a great site for low cost photo albums easily assembled, so now you can put together an album for grandma in minutes.

The next is http://www.photojojo.com/ you can just tell that these guys love photography, they update regularly about anything and everything photography.

The last one is the personal site for Joey Lawrence http://www.joeyl.com/ (no not the "Whoa" kid from Blossom,for those of you who remember Blossom). This guy is an amazing photographer, he shot the Twilight movie posters and shoots for most of the big record labels and movie studios when he's not traveling the world shoot his own personal work. The really amazing thing is this guy just turned 18!!!

So if you get a chance check out these sites, I loved them.

On a completely irrelevant note here is a picture I took of my mum on Mother's day (ain't she cute)

I'm sorry blog

Dear blog,

Please forgive me.

Here are some of my faves from the last wedding I shot.

Dutch at the beach

Mike and LeeAnne held the baptism of their son Dutch (I know what a cool name) recently on Longboat Key beach. Dutch is a great kid and has the best facial expressions. Here are some of my favorites.

Kids

I've always found kids fun to photograph for the simple reason that they love to get there picture taken and have none of the hang-ups that plague adults. Here are some of my favorites from the past and present.

Enjoy...

Riley

I photographed these kids in 1991

I wish I could remember her name

Playing with Photoshop

I love photoshop, it can take an average picture and give it character and life. I don't as a matter of course use a lot of photoshoping in my work, but every now and again I find a picture I think can use the help (besides it's fun). This picture is one of my favorites, I just decided to see what it would look like in B&W. I absolutely love the burn tool, I burned out the back ground and blah blah blah... see for yourself.

Enjoy, and feel free to let me know what you think.
