“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” Aaron Siskind

Greetings!

To feel inspired and to share that inspiration with others is something that makes me feel alive. Inspiration becomes instant when you listen to your heart, do what you love and share the outcome with others.

"To know how to choose a path with heart is to learn how to follow intuitive feeling. Logic can tell you
superficially where a path might lead to, but it cannot judge whether your heart will be in it." Jean Shinoda Bolen


Couple of weeks ago I had the pirvielege to be part of an amazing conference in the U.K. "Flash on The Beach", where I presented a session- Portfolio Building in Flash. Enjoy day 1 of what I saw through my lens while my visit in the U.K. click here - I'll be posting more soon!

Currently, I'm working on putting together some training for Lightroom and CS3 - both will be released next year - I can't wait!

Have a great holiday season...See you all next year!
