There is a firm reason on why I shoot RAW format. It's so when the flash fails on a perfect shot, I can still use it. Having the ability to save the moment or that sought after shot is why I've been shooting in the largest format I can. And why it often takes me longer in edit that some. Because, every shot is worth the time and attention from the shoot to editing that final look. And no matter how hard one tries. Sometimes we just can't get it right in camera and extra love and attention is needed. In which, that's where I often find the most pleasure in working on the images I shoot.

It may have been hot as Hell. But it was fun standing in the lot at work with coworkers and customers to get some gorgeous partial eclipse shots. This was our totality in Mobile. How was yours? #solareclipse #solareclipse2017 #sun #funatwork #nikon #tamron150600mm #monday #chesirecat #smile

Scored another camera for my collection. Sadly she isn't usable since the film can't be developed. But look at her! Thinking I already have her name selected. #vintagecamera #vintage #filmphotography #Keystone #collecting #scoredagain

Sometimes random things in the world remind us there is more to it than just us. Do something for someone else today and start a ripple. #streetphotography #signs #bekind #bekindtooneanother #pleasebekind #streetimage #loda #mobileal #sticker

Depression and anxiety are things many of us face everyday. Where all one wants to do is curl up and hide from the world. And yet we can't do so physically so mentally we hide. We scream internally in a pain that cannot be expressed. But know this. You are not alone. There is always that one friend or family member who will help you build your fort and stand gaurd before it. Becuase you are worth it all.

If we all stopped blaming outside sources for the reason we hate. We would not only become stronger as the human race, but as individuals as well.

This week has been hell. A broken down car. Bills and permit fees galore. The editing software updating and glitching out. Two major power outages that actually caused more malfunctions and editing problems. But even through it all I've pushed to restore and catch up and get ready for more. Because I refuse to take the lemons without making something from them. Dont let things get you down without a fight. #encouragement #life #positivevibes #nevergiveup #nevergivein #neversurrender #makeitwork #encouragingquotes

A Return to Mobicon

This last weekend was a new experience in many ways.  I'm sure you are looking back at the title and wondering why.  Since it's common knowledge that Mobicon was a big boost in my business as well as how long I was a staff member.  But let me break down some things so that the coming blog(s) make sense.  

I left Mobicon two years ago on a very sour note.  I name a lot of the behind the scenes drama for all of it.  I name those dramatic days the reason I split with some amazing friends and even had hope in a couple other cons changing their bad habited ways and one to come in and make a new scene.  I was disappointed in all parts that year.  But, since then, I've learned this was all good.  For me at least.  

So last year we skipped Mobicon for a lot of reasons.  The former drama being a key piece.  But also because there had been a very recent change in power and direction just before the convention date and I didn't want to ruin my former day feelings with one of judging a rebirth before that rebirth had really happened.  So skip to this year and you find where I am now.  Sitting here with a press badge hanging around my neck.  A pen and notebook in hand.  Watching my husband and daughter run around the con in their cosplays and I, for the second time ever, am playing handler.  A first at being handler to two people.  But it's been a great bit of fun so far.  And I thank the new staff, most being familiar faces, of Mobicon in granting me access in a new way.  And with that thought.  I'll start my posts about my new adventure at the reborn Mobicon, Mobile's Comic Con.  

Note:  Images will be added shortly.  This photographer forgot she had the wrong saves.  So imagine pretty pictures here.
