Let's Play

Play

Housework can wait, my children need kisses.
They want me to play, I'll put off the dishes.
When they're all grown, I'll keep the house spic and span...
But children grow fast, so I'll play while I can.

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."

Time sure does get away from me. I always have good intention to blog but then I get side tracked!!!! 

Let's play catch up!!!
In February I went to WPPI in Vegas with my good friend Michelle. I had the time of our life and can't wait to go back next year!!!  I learned a ton and had a blast shopping at the expo and learning about all the new products!!  I had a few things on my list to check out at the expo. One was the Canon 5D Mark III and I went looking for it. The Canon reps didn't have it available and claimed it may not be launched. Soon after I got home it was out for pre order. Boy I thought good and hard about ordering it and decided to sit back and wait for all the kinks to be worked out..we all know anytime something new comes out there will be a glitch or two. Happy I waited...looks like there are a few problems with the camera : ( I also was eager to check out the new Shootsac bag..I fell in love with the Tote and Shoot and  could wait to get my hands on it!! I have to say I love love love it!!!! My favorite camera bag so far!!  Then there was the Wacom booth. I think I had a heart attack when I spotted this baby!!! But I had just bought a new MacPro with all the bells and whistles and I don't think I could convince my husband that I need a ginormous interactive display (shhh maybe the medium one) but I did just buy the intuos5 and I do love it!!! No more mouse which is a HUGE plus!!!   
I came home with pounds of brochures and information and I finally have it all organized in folders (that was a big project).

Recently I launched a new store site and I am slowly but surely working on new products. I have been blessed with wonderful friends from a few photography groups and we have worked together finding good vendors, printers and products.

I just launched 2 new sets of textures "Summertime II" and "Color and Grunge".

I was recently asked to participate in a new texture group on facebook called Texture Photography Masters  and I am honored to be a part of the group. 

Spring is in the air!!!! The weather is beautiful!!!! I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful season!!!

This weeks iheartfaces photo challenge is Best Face Photo of 2011. This is one of my favorite pictures of my daughter. We had done a little back to school photo session. I brought along an apple as a prop. She kept smelling the apple and before I knew it, she dug in..all I could do was snap away. She makes me smile!!!!
