Be there or be square...kinda like the crop tool. ☺️

"Two bee(s), or not two bee(s), that is the question." 😊

I visited Midfield Lavender Farm recently to shoot at their U-Pick event (which is going on through June 28th in Bulls Gap, TN). I just might go back for another round. If only our monitors were scratch-n-sniff. 🥰

P.S. Taken with my Lensbaby Soft Focus II and if you know me, you know I edited it with Luminar Neo😉.

The greatest virtual photography conference of the summer is only weeks away😁. Check out the speaker line-up below and consider registering! It will be recorded if you can't attend the 13 hours of live sessions.

As I've been putting my Photo Restoration presentation together, it isn't without bittersweet moments. One of my fears (which I try not to think about) is being forgotten after I'm gone to include what is going to happen to my own photographs. I'll have to leave specific instructions in my Last Will & Testament, tell my kids which external hard drive contains what, and show them the ancestry files so that they can keep memories alive for future generations, etc.

I have images of my ancestors from the late 1800s and beyond (previously scanned by my Dad & sister - see cartoon below) and I think if they are looking down on me they are thrilled to be acknowledged over 100 years later. The person who took the photo is excited that their photography is still being shown! So, photo restoration and keeping old memories alive has great purpose if ya ask me. Anywhoooo, I need to go grab a tissue. Hope to see you on June 27th and 28th!

Here's my special registration link - thanks in advance for supporting the arts:

I just made these fun stickers using ChatGPT (it sure beats doing housework)! Use the Chibi Sticker-Pack Design to create it and show me your stickers in the comments!

P.S. I've never heard the term Chibi Stickers until today - it's a Japanese artistic aesthetic portraying characters as short, cute and stout and this is the only case I'd like to be stout😂. Ya learn something new every day. Now I'll have to see if I can separate these and use them in presentations and elsewhere!

Take a look at what someone created with ChatGPT.
