Unbeknownst to me, one of Brayden’s classmates fathers (clear as mud?) works for a high-end American consumer retail company that sells kitchen wares, furniture and linens, as well as other housewares and home furnishings, along with a variety of specialty foods, soaps and lotions. For privacy purposes I won’t say their name, but it rhymes with [...]
So, like many (most? all?) public schools in America, the kids’ school here is contracted with a company called Lifetouch who comes to the school to take individual photos in the fall, and individual and class photos in the spring. And because I am a rabid, dedicated, obsessed, avid scrapbooker, who hasn’t touched her photos [...]
I mean, really. With mad skills like this, who *wouldn’t* want me to be their team photographer??? It’s soccer, by the way. In case you couldn’t tell. And no, our team is NOT the red team. I have no idea what I was aiming at. Try not to be jealous of my pure, natural talent for [...]

Although I lovelovelovelove my 70-200 2.8 for shooting outdoor sports, sometimes …. let’s just say SOMETIMES, at 70mm, the action is a wee bit close. PHOTOGRAPHY FAIL.
You know, I get it. I totally get that my job, standing on the sidelines of the football games, taking pictures, is completely superfluous. I understand that on the totem pole of importance, I am way down at the bottom. The very bottom. Behind the refs, who have to watch the game and make the [...]

And I thought to myself, “I am the world’s best photographer.” Then I bought some new Photoshop actions and started playing around, and the pictures got even better.
