a tribute to polaroids…

Mar 31, 2008

It’s been at least an hour since our last blog change, so it was time for another one. ;P

I had been thinking that it was a little bit…blah, and I finally came up with an idea while dinking around in Photoshop this morning.

Photographers everywhere are mourning the fact that Polaroid film is an endangered species…so what better way to pay tribute to its last year on the shelf than with a Polaroid photo banner that “develops” while it loads?

If you don’t see this when you look at your screen, trying clearing your cache (I don’t think just hitting F5 will do it):

Just in time for mother's day – photo jewelry

Mar 28, 2008

I’ve been wanting to offer something like this for a while and am thrilled to have finally found a vendor I trust that has a fast turn-around: me.

This particular bracelet (“mother of pearl”) is made from freshwater pearls with a sterling silver toggle clasp and sterling silver two-sided frame. There is an opening at the top of the frame allowing you to change out the photos yourself.

I’ll be adding them to our shopping cart shortly and previous customers are welcome to order them using images from past sessions. If you’re nowhere near Colorado Springs but have a photo you’d like to use, you’ll also be able to order them. Bracelets are $50 plus tax and shipping.

(The photo I picked for my bracelet is an old sentimental favorite–Nic and Will on Will’s very first day taken by me while I was still laying on the delivery table.)

if things look a little weird, it's temporary.

Mar 21, 2008

I’ll be making some improvements to the blog this weekend. If things look weird, broken, ugly, or overwhelmingly orange, it’s temporary.

(Update: Saturday @ 11am — the basic overall structure seems to be all better. We’ll be making a few changes to the slideshow up top and maybe a few other changes, but most of it is done, so let me know what you think! Do you like the size, is it loading quickly enough, etc?)

Photoshop Friday is up.
