Well my blog is slowly but surely coming along. I’ve been neglecting this one a bit because the other has been giving me a headache! But I think that after all this blood and sweat that it’s going to be worth the effort and time. Oh the time I’ve been putting into this thing. It’s getting there and you will be able to view it very soon…I promise. Sorry about the lack of posts on here but I’ve been saving them for the other blog. Stay tuned for the debut……very soon!

Here’s a pic to tease you of what is on the new blog!

I have been trying to create a new blog but it has proven to be far more difficult and stubborn then I ever thought it would be. You saw on an earlier post that I needed help with some warning it was giving me but I couldn’t find anyone to help me so I’m still stuck. I’ll get things working and then things start messing up. So with some changes I was making some of the images on this blog are not showing up correctly so I apologize for the images looking screwy and I’ll be working on fixing it. I was really hoping to debut a new blog this weekend BUT that isn’t going to happen now. Is there anyone else as frustrated as I am with the Word Press software? I am! This blog runs fantastic but it’s running straight from WordPress.com. I’m working with their software that is being hosted on Yahoo! and it’s crazy how one minute it’s working and then next time I login nothing works. So, I am hoping and praying that I can debut a new blog soon. I’ll keep you updated on my progress and if this ever gets better. Maybe someone else has some tips for me??? I’d sure love to hear some!

I’m feeling nostalgic today…it’s my daughter’s 3rd birthday. It’s amazing how fast time has flown by and how much she’s grown. She’s also been coming out with these one liners that you just can’t help but burst out with laughter. Last week she snuck an olive from her Dad and she had it in her mouth as she was running away. Dad calls to her to not run with food in her mouth. She responds with “Thanks for the tip”. We couldn’t help it…we started laughing. Then tonight Dad was flipping through the channels and Ace Ventura came on and she looked at the screen and said “That’s not right”. How can you not laugh at that? I have got to write these stories down for her in a book so she can read what a silly girl she was.

Hi Everybody!

Ok, so I’ve never asked for help on here before but I just can’t find any anywhere else. I’m in the process of learning how to customize my own blog (by editing code) and I have a warning showing up on every post at the top saying this:

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The first argument should be either a string or an integer in /****/***/***********/****/wp-includes/category-template.php on line 176

This is the only place that I could find the words “array_key_exists” in the category-template.php file:

function in_category( $category ) { // Check if the current post is in the given category global $post, $blog_id;

$categories = get_object_term_cache($post->ID, ‘category’);
if ( false === $categories )
$categories = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, ‘category’);
if(array_key_exists($category, $categories))
return true;
else
return false;

I hate that I’m putting this stuff up on here but I do not know what this is telling me exactly. I’m really hoping that someone can help me! If you are a kind person who doesn’t mind helping me out please reply in the comments.

Note: The *stars* above are folder names I want to remain private. I am using WordPress software.

Thank you!

I just found this amazing photographer today from the BluDomain Daily Blog. Her images are amazing and her story is even more amazing. You have got to go and spend some time at her websites…..yes there are more then one. Also for the Photographers they just started a new site called RIPE Photographer, it’s a resource center for portrait photographers. I spent way to much time today exploring all the information and images they have. Go check them out!

Here are a couple images of Heather’s to tease you and get you to her sites!

Isn’t this image just amazing!

flowers.in.vase

Brenda — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:23:30 +0000

I was inspired last week to arrange an ordinary group of flowers in an unique way. It took me a few times to get it to look right and it wasn’t the easiest of tasks getting each bloom in the vase but I am so happy with the results. Photographing flowers is my all time favorite subject and I’ve been doing it since I picked up a camera. Some day I’ll have to post my flower pics from way back when.

I usually set up my shoot with black and white in mind. I tend to focus more on lines and details in the flowers then the color of them so black and white gets that across much easier then color. If I would keep them in color it would give a completely different mood to the image. I’d love to hear what you think of these, it’s a bit different then what I normally do. Been trying to get out of my comfort zone. Thanks for stopping by today!

I found these model releases that you can download from PHOTOWORKSHOP.COM. There are 5 different releases from adults, minors, and property. I have always created my own releases and these help a lot as a starting point for creating your own. It’s always a good thing to have your clients sign a release.

PHOTOWORKSHOP.COM

While your over there be sure to sign up for their newsletters, there is usually really good articles, tips, and information. Also check out their online magazine:

They feature awesome photographers!
