Photo of the Day - Faux Paris

As you can see, this Eiffel Tower is located right down the street from Caesar's Palace - what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, except for this photo. Au revoir!

Photo Session: Julie's Little Brother

This Saturday I did a brief photo session or my little brother John (or Johnny as we know him). It's his senior year of high school, so we tried to come up with some creative "senior picture" shots. What emerged was some good, cheesy, senior picture type photos along with some artsy shots that we probably won't order in "wallet-size." Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

Photo of the Day - We built this City

A crane looms over Trinity Cathedral as it lifts pieces of rebar for the new CSU Student Center. 

Newly Published: Cover Story!

In March I had the pleasure of having a cover story in Wearables Magazine. While the selection of women's clothing in the branded apparel industry has grown steadily over the past ten years, many women are still stuck wearing boxy men's polos. This story offers advice and tips for apparel distributors who are looking to provide clothing programs for women, or companion styles for women in a co-ed group. Check out Hugging the Curves and share in my cover excitement.

Photo of the Day - Sun Frosted

I don't know how else to describe the branches of this tree - they are frosted with sunlight. This is an image of a place I pass by daily. On this particular day, there was a "certain slant of light."

Photo of the Day - Thursday Night Twilight

Last night when I ran out (during American Idol no less) to pick up some supplies for my design project, the twilight was breathtaking. I attempted to capture it with my camera, but the nuances and delicate branches don't read as well as I would like. It's still a photo that I'm very fond of. I love the little star peeking out in the upper left hand corner. 

Happy Friday blog readers!

Stretching as Professional

One of the best things about working as a freelance writer is the ability to stretch my skills professionally. When I started freelancing full time back in October, my main service offering was writing. Writing in and of itself is a broad offering including copywriting, ghostwriting, public relations writing and even web copywriting. I've always been a strong writer and with my background in public relations and editorial writing, it was a natural fit. Lately, however, I've been presented with the opportunity to do a few projects that are out of my comfort zone in writing. Some have been more difficult than others, but for the most part I've had a lot of fun.

Photo of the Day - Springing to Life

Lately I've become obsessed with photography and design and am foraying into both, so this is my very first 'photo of the day.' Today's photo is some crocuses I saw before the dress rehearsal for Cantores Cleveland's upcoming April 3 performance. Spring has sprung in Cleveland.
