~~Clients can be funny~~

Shooting landscapes, architecture, and destinations is easy compared to shooting people.  People can naturally feel awkward when they are staring into a camera and told to "SMILE!"  It is an unnatural situation. 

So I try to get them to relax and have a little fun before I sneak in the snaps!

~~One Word~~

I read an article the other day that suggested that ONE work could change your life for the better....just ONE WORD!

(Insert drum roll here....)

The one word:  Nonetheless


Check out these examples of how to use "nonetheless":

• It is cold/hot outside; nonetheless, my entire day goes better after a brisk walk.
• 
  
• That piece of cake is "calling" me; nonetheless, the extra sugar will make me feel guilty and isn't for me anyway.
• 
  
• I don't feel like making that overdue phone call; nonetheless, when I make it, it will be off my mind.
• 
  
• I would like to spend the entire day crocheting on the couch; nonetheless, I get more done after a good hike <---Lacing up my hiking boots right now....

~~Bundles of Joy~~

Getting ready to go play outside in Anchorage in February takes about a half an hour. Two sets of socks, two pairs of leggings, two shirts, two hats, hand warmers and gloves topped with a ski coat and vest,  I got too hot to stay in... I welcomed the chill of the outdoors.

I made my way to the costume footrace.... There was so much excitement, music and street noise.  It was fun to watch all these "bundles of joy."

~~Seriously~~

I rented a roller skate for a car...big mistake!  It was the first car I have ever rented that comes with its own shovel in the back seat.

And what is this, and how in the hell do I use it??
