Well, Pan and I are in Virginia for a couple of days so we can spend time with my side of the family as well as ingest some gobble gobble goodies. I couldn’t resist this time of food to practice photography and get my head wrapped around some food styling techniques. So, here is my [...]
This past week I read about how bargain shopping, hitting sales, buying off eBay and Craigslist, etc. have become all the rage for the “budget conscious” starlets of Hollywood. After reading the whole article I was literally sick to my stomach as debutantes were talking about their inability to pay for their Range Rovers and [...]
