Shoot. Print. Share.

Posted on
I dedicate this piece to the loving memory of my baubie (grandmother) who just recently passed. For those of us who grew up before the digital age, photography meant buying film, putting it into a 35mm (or other type) camera, taking photos, dropping the film off at the lab and picking up prints. We held … Continue reading "Shoot. Print. Share."

In fact, you can also use your flash outdoors, especially when the sun is harsh and causes dark shadows. Prime … Continue reading "Hiya, Pal! Use Your Flash"

Go Greener

Kermit the Frog said, “It’s not easy being green.” How you interpret his statement can be far and wide from what someone else ascertains.
