http://photowidow.com A support site for women who love men who love photography Tue, 30 Mar 2010 15:06:15 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Bury stuff in the tomb when the person dies.  Yeah.  Love that. So when Paul goes, I figure the size of the house will magically double when I clear out all the photo gear.  View cameras, bellows, light stands, background stands, tripods, all of which are currently eating up valuable real estate. The trouble ... http://photowidow.com/?p=5 Just not here. Which brings us to last night. A Friday night with no son around, beautiful weather, and a new cocktail recipe book called, "It's 5 o'clock Somewhere".  Drink recipes from around the world.  I'm not a huge drinker (college kind of cured me of that) but this book looked ... http://photowidow.com/?p=26 You're probably wondering what I did for Father's Day, given that wonderfully disappointing Mother's Day. I took the high road and planned out a getaway weekend in Baltimore, visiting Inner Harbor and the B&O Train Museum.  The plan was to leave Saturday morning, after shooting a wedding on Friday night.  Visit ... http://photowidow.com/?p=24 Let's start with Mother's Day. Ok, granted the exact date moves around from year to year, but basically everyone knows it's in May. And everyone knows that May follows April, etc., etc. So when asked, wait, no.  Strike that.  When I mentioned off-hand one day that I would really like to go ... http://photowidow.com/?p=22 I've been absent for a while.  Not because Mr. Addicted-to-everything-Nikon has been good and attentive.  No, far from it.  It's because I had too much fodder to write about and needed to organize my thoughts into separate stories for greater clarity. So much to tell... http://photowidow.com/?p=20 "You must love being married to a photographer!"  Several naive people have uttered these words to me without knowing the full extent of what that means.  Here's a perfect example.   Me having a bad hair day and Paul being completely oblivious to the fact that he is two seconds away ... http://photowidow.com/?p=13 Yep, it happened again.  I mistakenly thought I was #1 in Paul's heart only to find out that I ranked right around lima beans... So we head out to our big convention in Las Vegas where learning and inspiration are right up there with gambling and buffets.  Paul meets me outside ... http://photowidow.com/?p=11 Have you ever heard the saying about how the shoemaker's children go barefoot?  The shoemaker is so busy making shoes for other people that he does not have time to make shoes for his own children. It's true in my world as well. We spent last week on an Alaskan cruise sailing ... http://photowidow.com/?p=10 I've been a bit delinquent in my posting this past week. Just a little busy with some other projects and the weddings for the summer. Plus someone has to wrestle those old clothes into the bags for Goodwill... When I logged into the site this morning, I saw a ... http://photowidow.com/?p=9 It's odd for us to have a summer Saturday off,  especially on a major holiday weekend.  But, surprise, surprise, here we were with both a Friday and a Saturday without a wedding to shoot!  So I took it upon myself to do something constructive and decided to clean out the ... http://photowidow.com/?p=8
