I am excited to be partnering with Canon USA these next few months to share a few DIY photo projects using their range of photo printers. I used the Canon SELPHY CP910 Printer this month to make tile coasters and they turned out to be one of my favorite small projects ever (and bonus! even…

These past few months I have talked about my attempt (and so far success) with the capsule wardrobe plan. I've also talked about how I don't care to organize my digital archives. And I have mentioned that there is nothing quite like film. All of these things have been on my mind. Less stuff ……

I'm so excited to be partnering with Canon USA for the next few months to bring you some awesome DIY photo projects using their range of printers. When this opportunity first came up (LAST JANUARY!)

I'm currently collecting frames from various thrift shops to try and achieve something awesome on the walls of our bathroom. While on the hunt, I spotted a giant frame (for $5.99) at Goodwill. It was not with the normal frames but in the "art" section. (I always take peek there too to see what I…

I have said this before, but I have like seven tricks for taking photos. (See them here.) I do the same few things over and over again because I love the results that I get. One thing I haven’t written too much about is another favorite technique… THE ART OF THE CROP. I’m giving it…
