City Fix

Vanessa Weber — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 17:47:04 +0000

Seth and I are spending the weekend in Denver with some friends. It’s great to get my city fix in!

Somehow it seems like there are endless photo ops in the city. Or maybe I just love all the buildings.

Whatever the draw is, I can’t seem to put my camera down. How about you, what are you loving to photograph?

First Snow

Vanessa Weber — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 03:46:47 +0000

Seth and I were making bets about a week ago as to when we thought the first snow might fall. I was certain it wouldn’t be until November! November 12th in fact was my guess. But I stand corrected- sorely corrected!

My guess is five inches- at least. Despite the cold surprise, we had a great day exploring and enjoying the lovely fall season.

I do love that Colorado weather is so sporadic. Keeps things interesting. But let’s be honest, what’s the first thing you do when you get five inches of snow in the beginning of October… you plan a vacation to somewhere beautiful, tropical, and warm. Because come January, you are going to need it!

Today

Today I realized that it’s long overdue that I stop by and say hello. Hello It’s been life as usual around here. Finally took the big boy out for a bit of shooting:

I’ve gotten in the habit of using my iPhone so much. But my boss loaned me a 17-40mm and a 15mm fisheye. So I’ve been having a bit of fun with those!

I’ve been thinking a lot about buying a new lens. There are so many amazing choices out there that it’s hard to narrow it down. Do you have a favorite lens at the moment?

I’m so excited, my first business cards arrived in the mail today =)

I had them printed by Moo. And, I have to say, they did a very nice job. It seems like it’s a good time to get organized and a bit revamped. I also updated my

I was talking to a good friend of mine the other day about joining twitter. She had several good points. I mean, I can really see it being a great business tool. I guess I’m still a bit hesitant. With Facebook, blogging, flickr, etc, I’m not really crazy about something else to stay on top of. On the other hand, I don’t want to overlook something great because of a few minor hesitations. How about you, do you tweet? What do you think about twitter?

iPhone Friday~And More

Vanessa Weber — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 04:35:03 +0000

I’ve been challenging myself to take a photo everyday on my lunch break- make myself get out of the office, enjoy some fresh air, and get inspired! Truth be told, it has been really inspiring. I read in a photographer’s book not too long ago that, “Within twenty feet there are easily ten different photos one can take.” At first, it seemed a bit cliche to me, but I’ve been finding it to be a fun challenge! So here is my photo for iPhone friday, which you might have guessed, I took on my lunch break.

Speaking of inspiration, I finally got my sewing machine out of storage. I’m so excited, and can’t wait to dive into all things crafty. In honor of that, I’m offering %50 off in my

Etsy~Shop
Discount code, “porridge”. Enjoy, and have a great weekend!

So I’m a day late, but hey, better than never. I’m happy to be getting back into my 100 project now that life has settled down a bit. Just passed the halfway mark with this lil guy:

Thinking orange photos might be a bit harder to come by, but after such a long break I suppose I’m up for the challenge. Hope you have a great weekend!

Etsy Love

I’m happy to announce that I’ve further updated my Etsy shop, and am excited to be offering these earrings again!

This set is made from 90% recycled materials, and who doesn’t love that! Originally a discarded empty Starbucks card, I lovingly cut and shaped each individual piece. The posts are Sterling Silver because your ears deserve the best! Great for any Starbucks lover, or a creative gift, and like I said… who doesn’t love recycling!

p.s. I’ll be announcing the winner of the photo giveaway Wednesday =)

iphone Friday

Vanessa Weber — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 19:43:41 +0000

As you might have noticed, I’ve recently become enamored with iphone photos. Maybe the change of cameras has me inspired. Whatever the case, I’m having fun, and that’s all that matters. I’ve been thinking it would be fun to start a regular post on Fridays… maybe even post other peoples iphone photos. I suppose I’ll have to get some other people interested, but maybe that won’t be too hard. For now, here’s my most recent fav:

Hope you have a great weekend!
