passion or obsession?!?

I made a drive down to Denver yesterday to FINALLY pick up my Sony A55 camera from the repair shop. Oh how I've missed her. She wasn't too broken but the clip that holds the SD card was no longer working. A month later and a trip to Texas to get fixed, and she's back! 
One of the passions/obsessions that Troy and I share is taking pictures. We love it so much so that we have a bit of a hard time sharing one camera. So, we have two. Troy's always been a Nikon kinda guy so he has the Nikon T3100, he use to have the D80 (which got stolen) a bit of a step down for him but I still think he takes incredible pictures, he's got amazing composition skills! 
Troy did the research and the other camera (my camera) we have is the Sony A55. Voted the 2010 Camera of the Year by PopPhoto.com, a great resource website for anything and everything cameras. The one unique thing about my Sony is that it has it's stabilization within the body of the camera as opposed to the lens of the camera. Making buying lens's much more inexpensive then lets say for Troy's camera where the stabilization is in the lens. But that's just one of the MANY cool things about this camera.

I think I take pictures of just about anything and of the 1000's of picture I take I usually only like a hand full of them. But the more I take the more I learn about composition and what makes a picture a "great" picture! Still doing lots of reading to figure out the full functionality of my camera and loving every minute of it. 

Happy Tuesday! Love and gratitude!

Meaning To....

I've been meaning to post pictures of the finished wall at the office for a while now but it seems like every time I remember I'm either not near a computer or something else gets in the way. Well ...here it is, we decided not to do different patio layouts on top, those are going in a different spot but we did put some large slabs on top so we could display our furniture. Now, on to the next 1,000 different projects I have in mind for around here... only that's going to have to wait till tomorrow, the lil one is not feeling well so my mama went and picked her up from school and I'm heading to the doc with her in a few hours to get her checked out. Don't think it's anything major just chest congestion , runny nose but no fever. Nothing a little rest and TLC wont fix! I love the fact that everything is finally starting to turn green. Green makes every thing look better! :)

vegas....

 This week has been INSANE! We are in the process of getting ready for one of our largest shows in Vegas that the boys leave for on Saturday. It's one of two shows that we do where we get to put our best foot forward and amaze all the buyers for all the boutiques that we sell to. So we have to get it right. With all the new samples that we have been getting from Peru, having to choose a new line has been tough, too many amazing choices to choose from!  Scary, but this is an alpaca sweater that we produced in the 80's and I just happend upon it while digging around in the warehouse the other day. Trust me we've had a HUGE evolution in our sweaters since then! Still fun to see!  Our new line of cottons. We've got two racks that we are sifting through to find the top 30!  On another note, check out Stella and my dad at the top of Hood with some of the CU kids. She sounds like she's having a blast! Missing her a bunch but we get to see her on Saturday. ...
