Ok, so here's the dealio. I'm told, by the blogger gods, that if I'm going to blog I must tell readers more about me or who we (me and hubby) are. That nobody wants to just see pictures that ya'll really want a more rounded out blog. I'm not so sure about that. BUT....I'm going to do another installment of 'What I'm Doing'.
What I'm Obsessing Over Tonight:
Reading?
Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James
Holy cow! Holy shit and Holy everything else. This is like 9 1/2 weeks but way better. I don't think this qualifies as a romance novel, but how would I know? I never read romance, but I love this book. I also adore the dialog she has with her inner goddess who pops her head out behind the couch dramatically fanning her face and smiling, a way she uses to keep both herself and the reader tuned into her true feelings about what she's doing. And she has some serious doings! I'm only on book 1, but so far, SOOO good. See that stainless steel diamond plate pattern on the tie on the cover, the kind you see on industrial products? Well, that manages to cleverly leave it's imprint on her wrists just to remind her... (This is one book I will not be lending to my mother-in-law.)
Note: During the book every time the author mentions a song I found myself on iTunes listening to it deciding whether it should be added to my playlists. Yep, I have a Fifty Shades of Grey playlist. So far? 3 Songs. You can even google Fifty Shades of Grey music and all kinds of people are keeping a list and doing the same thing. This book has an enormous following!
Fav Apps?
Pinterest - I've become a Pinterest addict, thanks to fellow blogger Tia Ashton. And boy do I love it when I get an email letting me know 50 other people loved it and repinned it too! Try it!
How do you use Pinterest? http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/story/2012-01-17/how-to-pinterest-mark-smith/52615856/1
POW - Cool photography app. Find this app on the App Store. This app lets you create cute little cartoon like strips as well as dipticts? A way of adding multiple images to one page. This little app lets you add text change borders and even create business cards. It's a very useful app that I've been using for years and find myself using weekly. The last image on this post was done using POW.
Pic You - Something like Instagram but the new kid on the block.

Magazines
May Issue of W. Ohhh I love the photography in this magazine. Both of these magazines inspire me as a photographer since so much of what we do has a magazine flavor to it.
Movie
Last good movie? Uh, let's see, like the rest of the planet The Hunger Games. I inhaled all 3 books and loved the movie.
Quaker Oats Bars - This is my new go-to food.
Essie's Go Overboard
Music:
New LED Lights (sooo cool) - Ok for you photographers you'll appreciate this, especially since it's new technology, its' a board full of little tiny LED bulbs. I don't like this new addition to our gear, I LOVE IT!
Favorite Blogs:
ME? Well, here I am working on a makeup trial for a styled shoot we have coming up, trying to decided which eye is the one with the right combination of colors.
Ok, so this is my second installment of What I'm Doing. I'm no so sure you are interested in this stuff, but I'll try this one more time and if it doesn't get a lot of hits then I know all ya'll want to see are pics and forget the stuff in the middle. Surprisingly the first one I did got A LOT of views but maybe that was a mistake or something, so we'll see. Is there something you DO want me to write about? Do you want to know more about how we do shoots, more about the shoot itself, more about the subjects? Or maybe you just want more pictures? Tell me what you like and I'll run with it. Promise. :)
