Doing a little research on Monterey, CA and found a really cute hotel. I poked around on Flickr and found some fabulous photos of the shore and am actually getting excited for a little California trip. Oh, and this place has a spa package - YES!! Now lets just hope I can find a good price on flights!
Woke up to this letter in my email box this morning...

I finally found a way to process these photos! They were horribly flat because it was a horrible gray day. I am trying to find new ways and work flows to better my processing. I used to hear that if you shoot RAW you can bring back even the worst of photos... slowly but surely I'm learning.

Horrible day today.

Yeah! I love their little guides. Now I can have them all in the palm of my hand, sweet!

I figured I would use my week at home to finish up my photo editing from Paris and Amsterdam. I have SO many photos to edit it's been quite a chore. I'd like to make a book and in order to do that, I have to get everything edited and in one place. Not sure why I've been so scattered with this photo journey, but I have a whole week to reorganize!

Made another trip to the Milwaukee Art Museum today with Barbara and her mother. I had seen a photo on Flickr of the painted ribs and was itching to shoot those myself.
Traffic sucked getting there, and I picked "kids" day, but it all worked out and we had a great time walking around viewing the collection. This is the first time I've actually seen the whole collection on the main floor - still haven't seen everything upstairs. They really do have some nice work and the Warhol exhibit was quite good.
We hit another Wisconsin favorite, the Mars Cheese Castle for cheese and more. This was my first visit and I was quite surprised at the size of this place. It's a grocery, bakery, wine shop, gift shop and even has a restaurant/bar! I picked up some smoked cheddar that is so strong it's made the whole fridge smell smokey. Mmmmm.
The final stop on our way home was at the Baha'i House of Worship. I attempted a few handheld shots, should have upped the ISO, while we walked around and enjoyed the gardens and the amazing architecture. This place is simply stunning. The ornate work both inside and out is something you really must see. I will have to take a tripod back to get some proper shots of this place. I'm loving the fountains. Maybe I'll put that on the list to do this weeks since it's supposed to be of normal temperatures for this time of year!!

I know it seems like the photos from Paris are endless... that's because they are. I took a ton and am still working my way through processing them. Just started on Amsterdam last night. That's the problem with being "into" photography, you're never happy with what comes out of the camera. A little tweak here and there to get it just right. Ugh!
I'll probably make a book out of these, any suggestions on services? I've used Blurb (good except for black and white images), Apple via iPhoto (was actually impressed with that one) and My Publisher (turned out really nice, but I'm bound to templates)... any others??

This shot was taken for Karen who was just loving the moody moon with the clouds and the sign. She couldn't capture it with her point & shoot, so I sat the tripod down and shot a few frames. I am pretty happy with how it came out. I hope she is too...
