A long time ...
My awesome friend Amy is finally moving to California! I've taken so many photos of her kids (the above photo is of her son) and I'm looking forward to spending more time with all of them. We became really good friends while we were both in Hawaii, and it's really a blessing that we can continue our friendship together here as well.
I've really been getting into a podcast and blog called TWIP (This Week in Photography). They have some good info, news, tips, etc. and they even have groups set up on Flickr and a photo contest every-other-week. (They even used my suggestion for the current challenge!) You can listen through iTunes, and also get daily info from their blog. (I keep up with it through their RSS feed in Flock). So check it out!
Another new thing for me is that I recently became a member of NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) I love it! I'm even attending Photoshop World in September in Vegas (ooh I'm soooo excited!). If you use Photoshop and are not a member yet, I seriously recommend checking out their site and consider signing up ... it's a great deal (only $99/year) and you get free tutorials, tons of discounts and lots of other perks and resources.
