hey guys how are you doing this fine tuesday? it’s nippy in ny but the sun is popoing in and out thad those bits of brightness are bringing me a lot of joy. here come some rays now! i’m working from the apartment kind of just like the shot above (i wish)! so i couldn’t help but post it. i leave in a few hours and this trip has left me with a lot of opportunities. i have to decide if i could live in the city again and change up life as i know it.

in the meantime i was messing around on pinterest since i have a few moments to spare. between the photos, creativity and endless inspiration, it’s also instructional.

the shots that people take blow me away. and tweaking them is incredible too. from instagram, hipstamatic, photoshop, and iphoto there’s a whole world out there. i want to be a better photographer and have been bookmarking some pages to go through.

    Hello Claudia – I just read Grumbles & Grunts post about taking better iPhone photos and it was worth reading. Thanks very much for the tips as I too am wanting to be a better photographer (much to learn). You sound like you have the opportunity to mix life up again, and that’s always exciting. Wishing you an early happy birthday. Hoping it’s a great day or a great lady!

    Claudia, I sent you two emails wanting to talk to you about including a book review of your newest book in my new digital magazine and have not heard back from you. I’d like to call you to discuss it. Would give you free publicity in my Paris issue. I sent you some interview questions for the article. Loved the book and I am going back to Paris three weeks this May. Please respond.

    I would love to do a photo challenge like the one you posted. I should give it a try over the summer when I’m home from work and there is lots of light for taking photos. I like projects like that as it gets you out of the photo rut and our of your comfort zone. Thanks for posting.

    I did two challenges like that during February of this year and last year – but I made the challenges myself. Since I’m in school and get really busy with homework, its nice to have something planned for the busiest month. February is also the shortest month :)

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find
    this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
