Senior Portrait - Headshot 1

Well, I took a stab at one picture tonight and honestly, if you could see the before and after you would be amazed with what I accomplished.  

The deadline for senior pics to be submitted to the yearbook is 31 Oct.  Time is limited (and will be more-so once the kids get back from New York) so I better get working!! I can't wait for the girls to return so I can get out and take some more pictures!

Ok, it's late and I could ramble on and on and on...

DO NOT REPRODUCE THIS PICTURE IN ANY WAY!  RESPECT THE COPYRIGHT! 

Later,

Holly 

I'm back!!!

New laptop!!!!

Time to get some photo edits done and writing added!!

I am excited!

I know you are! Whoever you are! Wherever you are!

You've missed me. I can feel it :)

Out of sorts

I am going through withdrawals not being able to play with photos!  I can take them all day long but have nowhere to put them and no way to edit!  It's driving me nuts - who knew I would enjoy this as much as I do!! 

I have been so eager to work on the senior pics I took a while back!!  With the help of some awesome people, I am looking into the laptop situation and hope to have something figured out soon!

Kind of sad today

No matter how hard your shell is
No matter how high you build your wall
Some days it's hard not to crumble.
Tears fall like droplets of rain from a cloud overhead
No storm, simply gentle.
Yet, enough to make visible the fact that something is falling.
     My heart is falling.
          Further into the pit of my stomach.

Out of Order!!!

I won't be able to do much as my laptop finally decided to crash.  It's old enough and not worth the money to fix, so I am going to do some searching for something new.  Updating from my phone just isn't the same and I also won't be able to edit and upload any photos for some time.  That's the biggest hit - losing the edited pictures.  I didn't lose all my pictures, but I know there are a lot now gone!  Oh well - nothing much I can do about it. 

The husband is going to attempt to retrieve the data from my harddrive, but I am not holding my breath.  My laptop may soon end up as target practice...
