While I was going through photos and backing them up, I decided to randomly pick a couple to post.

Adobe is giving away Photoshop for free…Sorta. Adobe recently release Photoshop Express. Express is a flash based online photo editor, which allows the user to non-destructively edit and enhance their photos. You can upload your photos or pull your photos from Picasa, Photobucket, or Facebook. This is not a Photoshop replacement, but it gives users basic photo-editing capabilities and also includes a decent slideshow. If you haven’t tried it out, you should, it’s FREE.Basic editing tools on the left panel.Selecting one of the tools gives you a strip of options you can choose from on the top panel. One of the neat things about editing in Express is, mousing over the small images changes the main images instantly.

Just wanted to share a quick snapshot of this fiery sunrise. Normally sunrises are blue/gold and cool in tone…but this morning’s sunrise was fiery red and orange!!! Reminds me more of a sunset.

Ladies…if you are planning on doing something like this during your first dance, do let me know ahead of time!!!

Where did the rain come from. I swore, the last couple that hit San Diego was a complete surprise to me. One day it’s beautiful out and the next morning…rain. When I woke up and heard the rain coming down I knew it was a good opportunity to wash the car and save the hassle of having to dry it. Although the neighbors may think you are a lunatic, washing your car during the rain means that the rise you get from mother nature will dry spot free saving you some time and effort.

Friday afternoon, my photography buddy Denny and I braved Friday LA traffic to drive up to Napa Valley for the second annual OSP West user meet. It’s a long way from San Diego but it affords us photographers the opportunity to meet, network and talk shop so to speak. It was awesome to see familiar faces and meet new ones. Chris and Jen Stewart and Tana Huffman did an amazing job to help organize and keep things running smoothly. So big applause to them. Here are some photos of mine from day one doing a senior session and some off camera lighting later that night.Here’s some of VivienLoving those eyes Vivien.A couple of shots of Camille…such vibrant colors. Love it!I love this moment between Lisa and Paul.

We’re heading up to north to Napa Valley, CA for OSP West II.
