Halloween 2012 Party

Every year my friend/business partner and I throw a big Halloween Bash.  Well this year, we've been really busy opening up our new boutique (partnered with two more fabulous artists), "Vexed by Design" in Las Vegas, NV, that we just didn't have quite enough time to devote to a huge bash.  But we were very determined to have a party despite our busy schedule.

Here are just a few pics from this years party...

I didn't take as many photos as I usually do...I've been so tired from the stress of opening up a brick and mortar that I was just drained.

I've lost my photography creativity...so if you find it, please send it home.

Capture Life!

Edit Me 2012 - Week 2

I'm so excited that the "Edit Me" challenge has started back up...even if I missed the first week.

This weeks adorable photo is from Tara of "Wild Ginger Photography".   She's also this weeks judge.  Here is the photo she submitted...

Adorable right...so many different ideas came to mind, but I decided to keep it pretty simple.

I cropped in just a little bit, I liked the window in the background, so I wanted to keep it in just a little bit.  I then desaturated the photo and brought in just a bit of color on the baby and bear, still keeping a bit of sepia tone.  I softened the photo and added a vignette.

I hope you like it.

Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday - Free Edition

This is my first post of the new year!  I just know that this is going to be a great year for us all.

So to start the Texture Tuesday off, Kim has made it simple for us...I don't know about you, but I'm pooped from all the holiday festivities and all the food and sweets I've devoured...sigh.

I got a brand new Nikon lens (Nikkor 35mm) for my birthday and this is just one of the photos I shot with it.  I do love this lens and looking forward to sharing more photos from it.

I used Kim's fabulous "free" textures More Magic, blending mode Difference at 100% (erasing off of face) and  Annabelle, 100% blending mode Multiply (erasing from face).

The Santa is from Barbora Sutton, she hand sculpts some fabulous Santa's, witches, fairies and more.
