500 Sales!     posted on 26th of april, 2008

Wow, I had my 500th sale today. It's funny that it happened to be this one, Celebrating 50 years. Today I am celebrating 500 downloads.

 

My first image went online Jan. 15, 2008

 

The image with the most downloads is

 

After only 3 and a half months. I am thrilled and I think I finally may have gotten an idea of what will work for me, it is the image and illustration compositions that seem to get the most attention and the images created with my own adobe brushes created from images of flowers and designs created over the years.

Creating your own brushes for Adobe Photoshop     posted on 2nd of april, 2008

Easy Tutorial for Photoshop beginners

1. Open Adobe Photoshop

Why I love Stock Photography. How about you?     posted on 10th of march, 2008

Having worked my entire life dealing with the public, raising children, and being the all around "doer of everything" for my family, I found myself retired and somewhat disabled due to some back problems. I have always loved art and photography, I have a closet full of cameras and lenses that are gathering dust since the introduction of Digital cameras.
