Fun In February

Sorry that it has been so long since my last Blog. My husband, Tim, has been laid up with a bad knee so that has kept me extra busy. He might have to have another Knee Replacement which is not fun.
Last weekend I was able to attend the Rock A Billy Reunion Car Show. It is different than any other car show I have been to. It features a Pin Up Girl Contest. One of the sponsors is a Tatoo Parlour so there was a lot of people with "Body Art". Here is a link for more information about the show.

I was able to shoot the annual Winter Blast Pyrotechnic Show. It is sort of a trade show for people in the industry so you get to see all the new and different Firework displays. Here is a link to some of my shots.

If you like the convience of printing your photos at home, you need to be aware of the importance of the paper you use. I have been told you should you use the same brand of paper as your printer. Be sure it is Photo Paper. I like the matte finish and satin better than the glossy but this is just a matter of taste. Check out this article for more tips on choosing your paper:

For those of you in the Midwest there is still space available in March for a vacation to Ixtapa, Cancun, Punta Cana or Jamaica. If you would like a break from winter give me a call.
