Because who doesn't want to make Wednesday go a little faster by watching a hilarious Thai ad? It's safe for work, I swear. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0bC__I-Lqs&w=560&h=315] (BTW, I hate the term "Lady Lumps," but in this case, it's perfect.)...

I am grateful for all the chances I've had recently to dream big and realise my dreams. I am grateful that I did not strangle any of my children today. I am grateful for last night's glorious, amazing thunderstorm, for feeling a cool breeze steal away all...

How do you feel about Photoshop? Recently my favourite big company DOVE played a prank on retouchers and photographers- creating a one-click Photoshop action that said it would give photos "a beautiful healthy glow" and in reality undid all retouching.  The video they produced outting themselves...

Well, in retrospect, I never said I'd do 100 CONSECUTIVE days of gratitude.  So I'm fine. Day Three I am grateful for blueberries, even if it appears that, eaten in enough quantity, they shoot out of my son like a rocket and require me to abandon work...

Bugger, I almost forgot already! Today will have to be quick as I'm already in bed. I am grateful for my friends Wally and Rick, who showed up unexpectedly with Timbits and a third studio strobe this morning and gave me a good reason to get...
