Old Barn

I created this from an old barn picture I had that I took right here in NC. I used the HDR method of course. Then I used some burning, dodging, and blending for this effect. I enhanced the red and yellow. I also used a grey layer for the clouds. Here is my result. I love North Carolina.

9 11 Tattoo

Tattoo of a reminder of 9/11!

PAIR-A-DICE TATOOZ & BODY PIERCING STUDIO

This is a collage of pictures I took of their business cards. Pair-A-Dice has a wonderful tattoo shop. In fact if you are located near Twentynine Palms and you were thinking of getting a tattoo I would recommend this Place.
This place is also just beautiful! Dan has some wonderful art going on at this place. It looks and feel just like Pair-A-Dice. It is a great place filled with great people and their tattoos speak for themselves!

We all have had days like these;-)

I created this from two stock images off of DeviantArt! I think this pictures speaks for its self! TRAPPED!

I give credit to Adobe CS3! I love this photoshop;-)

7 Deadly Sins - Pride

I created a series on flickr dedicated to the 7 deadly sins! This picture indicates vanity!

Vanity or Pride is the excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others. In many religions vanity is considered a form of self-idolatry, in which one rejects God for the sake of one's own image, and thereby becomes divorced from the graces of God. The stories of Lucifer and Narcissus, and others, attend to a pernicious aspect of vanity.

Philosophically-speaking, vanity may refer to a broader sense of egoism and pride.

In early Christian teachings vanity is considered an example of pride, one of the seven deadly sins.

I thought this was the best way to model vanity! A mirror shot of me pampering myself! I am happy with the way this came out. I used the Dynamic-HDR tool! I think it really brought out the colors in this shot!

Update on the camera

I have a new Sony Alpha DSLR-100 in the mail. Yeah! I am excited once again. Just like a kid in a candy store. I think I will have a personal photo fest when I get it. I will be posting photos everywhere.

My Blogger Letter

Blogger Friends,

Welcome to my blog! Not much to say about me or my blog! I am very easy going and laid back! I do not like a lot of drama or excitement! I am a marine stationed at Twentynine Palms at this moment! Soon I will be leaving! I make the most of where I am at. I am into photography and it gives me a way to enjoy this place. Also I have a wonderful family! My husband supports me in everything I do and our daughter is the light of my life. I can't imagine life without them.

I enjoy lots of things! I say be happy with what life gives you! We only have one life and we have to make the most of that life or otherwise it is wasted and our time here would be for nothing. Our children are our legacy so I want to be a great mom. This blog will show parts of me and my photography because a person's passion shows a lot about a person and my photography is a passion of mine.

I have a Sony Alpha DSLRA-100! I take that camera everywhere with me. You never know when you will see that once in a lifetime shot. I also have several lenses and plenty of software! I love Adobe CS3 the best out of all the photoshops! I use a lot of photography books and online tutorials to improve my work! I am always looking for ideas and ways to improve my photography!

My number one passion is my daughter Catherine! She will always come first and that is what matters most to me. My photos of her show that. My love for her has no end but I am sure all parents feel the same way. Welcome to my blog! Enjoy my photos and feel free to comment good or bad. I love getting feedback from other people so I have an idea on how to improve my work! I love people and making new friends!
