WELCOME!

Welcome to my Photography, Design, and Everything Else blog. I am a photographer for fun (meaning I don't know too much of what I am doing) and an aspiring graphic design artist. I have always been somewhat interested in photography but really started getting more into it after I had my son. Last Christmas I got my first Sony SLR Camera and the world of photography hasn't been the same since. I still don't know too much but the fact that I can now take some clear pictures works good enough for me. Upon following a few photography blogs I started to realize that even if you don't take a perfect photo, you can create one through photo editing. DUH! I started to become interested and learning new things through video tutorials. This re-sparked a interest I always had for graphic design. I dont have much time to go back to school right now so I have been self-teaching myself as much as I can. Since then I have begun to make flyers, business cards, and magazine ads for the store/dispensery 4ever20. I started this blog as a way to share some of my work with the world and so you can follow along on my learning journey to not only become a better photographer but graphic design artist as well. Along the way I will also be sharing whatever else I think I need to at the time. ENJOY!

Photo Challenge: Hands

>> Sunday, February 21, 2010

This week over at I♥faces the weekly challenge is hands. Usually the pictures have to be with a face in it but this time it's focused only on the hands. I just took this picture recently while doing a shoot with my friend for her fiance for Valentine's day. He is a firefighter so she wanted to incorporate some things that would have meaning for him.

She is wearing her nice "HUGE" diamond ring and has his FD neckalce on her hands. At first glance this picture makes me think of a wife that lost her husband in the war. He does risk his life for the lives of people in our country though so let's thank God he's still here.

Click the button below and check out the other entries this week. GOOD LUCK to everyone!!!

Wow, that's a ROCK. I love this photo, how that necklace is hanging down like that and her hands and how you've got just a bit of sparkle in there. Very nicely done.
