Move Complete - I have returned!


Well, it has been nearly 3 weeks since my last update – sorry for the crazy-long delay – but our move is finally (mostly) over!  Over the last 3 weeks I’ve packed and unpacked over 200 boxes, gone through like 15 boxes of Costco disinfectant wipes, and realized that one can REALLY stuff a lot of junk into a closet.  Honestly, you really don’t know how much junk you have until you have to move it all! 
After finally unpacking the boxes with all my photo stuff, I’m able to continue with my weekly projects!  Woo!  The good news, I had taken photos for the next two projects and now I just need to edit them and I should be getting caught up! 
Before I go and post my Week 5 project, I wanted to bring up a few other nifty photo-related items:
·         The editors of PhotoShop User magazine (a great PS / photography mag) have released their first all-digital magazine called “Light It” for Apple iPad (available on iTunes, just search for Light It Magazine).  The first issue is free, so double bonus! 
·         For those folks in the San Francisco/Berkeley area in early October (the 1st and 2nd specifically), I’d highly recommend attending of the many World Wide Photo Walks.  For more information on the WWPW, visit: worldwidephotowalk.com.  I believe there are 3 planned in San Fran and 2 in Berkeley.  It’s a fun few hours walking around with other photographers taking shots of the city and there are even free prizes to win, so how can you say no!?
·         Lastly, I just wanted to mention a new service that I will soon be offering; custom framing.  Many of you already know that I offer custom mat-boarding of photos and art, but one of the problems has always been finding appropriate sized frames (at reasonable prices).  So, I thought I’d try and use some of my carpentry skills from long ago and make frames as well.  I’m not exactly sure when I’ll be offering this service, mostly because I first have to get the equipment and setup everything – but once I do have everything setup, I’ll be offering a few free frames, so I can practice.  At this point, the only missing element to the entire “framing” experience will be having custom cut glass.  I’m going to start by using plastic and see how well that works before attempting glass. 
I’m glad to be back and I hope you will enjoy the upcoming photos!
Thanks,
Anthony
