Spring in the Backyard
I think the beauty of spring can be captured anywhere.
No need to get in the car and pay over $4 a gallon for gas — just walk in your yard and bask in the beauty that surrounds you.
I started this journey through my yard to take photos of the blooming dogwood for my best friend - Barbara. We had been talking about their lacey appearance a few days ago and since the dogwood is not prevalent in Oklahoma, I thought I would send her some shots of it.
PHOTOSHOP HOUSEKEEPING
By default, Photoshop retains several things in memory–undos, items you’ve copied to the Clipboard, a documents action history, and defined patterns. These items can be an enormous drain of memory and are usually the source of low memory errors. Therefore, purge these items from memory as often as possible. To do so, choose Edit, Purge, [...]
Reset Preferences
A lot of Photoshop problems can be fixed by dumping the Preferences file. While launching Photoshop, hold down Alt+Ctrl+Shift on the PC or Cmd+Option+Shift on the Mac. When asked to reset the preferences, choose Yes.
But before you do this, save your custom Patterns, actions, styles, brushes, gradients, shapes, and color palettes. These will also be [...]

By making regular website backups you can always feel [...]
IMAGE SIZING BY EXAMPLE
Although PhotoShop’s Image Size and Canvas Size dialog boxes are fairly straightforward, there is a hidden feature of which you may not be aware. While the Image Size or Canvas Size dialog boxes are open, you can match the image or canvas size and resolution of another open image. To do so, select the image [...]

Red Carpet
Typically, when a person thinks on death they think of - darkness, dust and worms. The thoughts provoke fear and discomfort. While in Middle Island, New York I saw this tombstone and just knew I had to take the shot.
Discipline’s Domination
Anna walked out of the office barely holding back her tears. She had just been fired again. And it was so unjust! She simply had to paint her nails for her party tonight. What if she didn’t get to the phone quick enough? After all, the company had a great voice mail system. What difference [...]
New York City Mandalas
If you have read my blog on ‘Futures’ then you know that my time spent in New York City trying to capture the feel of that great city in pictures was a bust — besides the picture Futures. So, I was left with a great many pictures that seemed to have no purpose - [...]
A Diet of Worms
I must have got up on the wrong side of the bed today. My day started bad and went downhill from there. Here are a few of the ‘wrongs’ that I was feeling:
• I just knew all my recent decisions were wrong
• My hair looked horrible - I just could [...]
Futures
This photograph was taken on the streets of Soho, New York, New York. I tried to take pictures of the city to expand my portfolio but could not seem to pickup the emotion I felt there. The excitement, the stress, the never-stop rush that I always feel when I am there. Unfortunately, when I tried [...]
