Closing Luminescence

Well, I have decided to close up shop. My Luminescence shop that is. I want to concentrate more on my photography. I feel like i'm spreading myself to thin. It makes it hard to enjoy myself. I feel that my photography would grow if I put everything into. I am doing lots of research on styles and such. Trying to find my own niche. I hope you enjoy the transformation. And while your at it, stop into Luminescence and get you a hat or scarf at that great discount price :)

Old Junkers

I have an addiction to old rusty cars. The more rust, the better. I am always keeping my eyes out for old cars. I love the classics. If it's buried under brush or hidden behind the barn. I will find it :D I have several in my cross hairs. I intend to snap some shots as soon as the down pour stops. Gotta love living in Oregon :D So look for lots of upcoming Junkers and Classics.

Some Photoshoppin'

I have been messing around with some pics I took that I thought weren't any good. Photoshop goes a long way. I use to never think to highly of altered photos. My thoughts were "if you couldn't get the shot to look good through the eye of a lens, then don't bother" a so called purest if you will. Well, my thoughts have changed. I started with photoshop a while back and I have become totally addicted. You can distort, eliminate, change and manipulate all you want. Just think, the delete button at your will. Wish I had that in real life. Or maybe a little nip/tuck. Photoshop is there to help. :D The possibilities are endless. I don't think my imagination can stretch that far. I find myself surfing the web for tutorials. Wanting to know how someone did something. The process amazes me. I only hope to learn more every day.

Way to Long

I can't believe it has been so long since i've posted. Life is so crazy. I have kind of taken a break from everything to just breath. I've been working on some photos and hope to have them up in my shop. I've been thinking about hitting up my favorite cousin for a new banner for my blog. I love her artwork. Maybe she can help me out.....hint hint :) I just love her to death. She's like my own little sister. And to think she's pregnant! I can't wait to see what beautiful little baby she has. Boy or Girl. I wish I could be there for the arrival. Shhh, don't tell her but I thinks it's a girl :D I even found a cute little dress. I could be wrong though :D Anyways......I have been hunting down old cars and trucks. Trying to find my next target for Etsy. I just love working with rusted things :D I'm excited about it. I am going to be hanging some of my own work in my living room. I really need to decide which shots and what frames to go with. I can't decide between matting or floating...hmm. Anybody got an opinion? Well, I will try and post more often :)
