Let's get this started

I've been faithfully reading the blogs of other photographers from all over the country for about 6 months now.  Only recently did I realize I had something to blog about. My mind has changed  as my business has taken off and others want to know how I'm doing it.  It's flattering when people who love photography want to talk to me about my work. Seems crazy, nevertheless  I've been approached by several new photographers who ask a lot of questions.  I'm the same way with the photographers I follow (in the blogworld) I want to ask them questions.  This is where the idea for my blog came from.   

 I WANT to share what I've learned in the last year.  I've spent many many hours out on photo shoots taking endless pictures. I've spent even more hours learning Photoshop CS3 and my new MAC. It's ridiculous the amount of hours I've spent reading every photography book I could buy (Usually 2 a month)   I read them each cover to cover.   I love looking back at the pictures I took only 6 months ago and seeing where my skill level is this month.   

So this is where it gets fun. I know I'm no where close to where I want to be but I am confident that with my passion for photography and my hard work and determination I'll get there.  As I'm learning I want to share.  I'll be sharing my work, the sites I've visited, some photoshop stuff, the books I've read, the tutorials I've watched and no doubt I'll be sprinkling my posts with the rest of my life as well.   Welcome to my little blog

Andi, I have had the pleasure of seeing several of your pieces and have always been impressed with that sexy style you portray. Your clients I'm sure are always thrilled with their final products and your business will flourish with all the referrals. Some photographers will comment that a really great photographer will always do the work "in the camera". I say PHOOY! A great photographer will use all the tools available to produce the best possible product to include Photoshop, Lightroom and whatever software they need to enhance their work. The B&W, Sepia Tones and work with curves and sharpening are examples.

In your future postings, I would love to see information on your choice of camera, lens, settings, any flash or reflectors used and angles that you use to get your results.

Your style is very sexy and moody. Love it. Your business will flourish with the referrals.
