Soaking up the Sun in SoCal

It's been a busy few weeks here in San Diego County: James has been working non-stop, getting his music out on the streets and beaches, and working on a new project: Perfect Strangers, a music group based out of Carlsbad covering tunes from the '80s and '90s. I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot …

Both ways definitely helped me …

As you may know from my post on The Arts of Editing, I'm not a big …

June Photo Challenge

I'm almost done participating in my first photo challenge. It's been really fun, though at times more challenging that I would have thought, to take a new picture each day based on a prompt. Since I enjoyed it so much, I've decided to launch my own challenge, and I'd love for you all to be …
