Northern Transplant : Southern Exile

Sun slants over a late day sky
The warm breeze
Unsuitable
For my uncovered winter skin

I am lost and
In this man made
Landscape where my shadow 
Rails against the synthetic wilds

I make no sense here 
I will go 
Just as soon
As I am done...

A Word...

A Message from the Universe

Working at it

The following 2 pictures are of Belinda, a local Gospel singer with an amazing voice and a very pretty face that I know I will be working with sometime in the near future, I hope. Again, this is me playing with PS Actions and learning to retouch photographs...I'm just having fun.

Along the same lines, I did a shoot with this lovely lady, Tina Corrado, many years ago. The shoot was perfect in every way. Tina was a dream to work with. Completely self-deprecating, patient, charming and quite simply one of the most beautiful women I have ever had the pleasure to know. Now I am able to run this through my own sort of post production and I have come up with these startling results.

In April of 2012, I had the pleasure of doing a shoot for Accessories by Halo (www.accessoriesbyhalo.com). Natalie W., the owner, was also the model, wonderful person.
I am learning, this year about how not to beat up my images in Adobe Photoshop and here is the result. Still learning, but I am totally getting there.

3. Monetize the value you add!
4. Fall in LOVE with every step of the journey!

And So...

A friend of mine on Facebook posted this. As far as I can tell it came from a guy named Jairek Robbins, an authrouty on developing creative solutions for accelerated results.
Hm...I just liked the post.
Thanks, Mike.
