Don: “I think you wouldn’t be in the presidential suite [...]
Project 365…
After watching Tasra start up her 365 Project earlier this month, I decided to kick off my own. Instead of starting at the beginning of the month, I decided it would be much better to kick it off on my 40th birthday.
No rules. Just 365 photos – one a day for a year. The rest [...]
The Big Four-Ooooh…
Yes, you read that right. I turned 40 yesterday. At least that is what the math works out to, because I don’t personally believe it. I still feel about 27, or maybe 32. Definitely not 40. Or not what I thought 40 would feel like – although I did go to the orthopedic last week [...]

That recommendation has nothing to do with my past history with WordPress [...]

@gafl delete the 1:1 previews, you can then render minimal ones – much smaller. Less space. I thought previews stored w/ catalog though. in reply to gafl #

I Love ShootQ!
My commercial photographer friend Michael Schulz laughs at me every time I say it, but I *love* ShootQ. With an insane amount of love, but not without a good reason. I could not possibly run my photography business without them. I love it so much, I flew to help Savannah wedding photographer Donna Von Bruening [...]

Have Gear Acquisition Syndrome? Rent Camera Equipment!
Ahhh… some days, we all want what we can’t have. Maybe the bank account just doesn’t agree with your need to buy that EF 85mm f/1.2L of your dreams. (What? Is that just my fantasy lens purchase?) Maybe you want to test out a new lens or camera body before you invest in buying it? [...]

Hi! I'm Christine. I've been blogging here since 2000. I am married to Mike. I have a son, Jason. We have a cat, Mona. We live in Houston, Texas.
I love helping other photographers and other small business owners improve their businesses. Most of my posts here are related to that, although sometimes I write about personal things as well.
I am currently available for business & blogging consulting and assisting you with WordPress. Contact me for more details.
I am a wedding and boudoir photographer and I'm available both in Houston and for travel worldwide. I would love to be a part of your wedding!
You can buy prints of my photography.
In addition to photography and geek things, I sometimes knit. I even used to have a knitting podcast, PointySticks.
