Wednesday Blog

Happy Wednesday everyone.  It is another warm, sunny day here in beautiful Downtown Lakeville.  This nice weather is really good for business.  We have been busy in the candy store this week.  It makes the day go by fast. 

Here is an article about the proper way to store your photos.  It is especially important for your old family photos.  My sister and I have been trying to get as many of our photos scanned as possible so we can make copies for everyone.  That way if someone's home has a fire there will be another copy somewhere.  With digital you need to be careful how you store your discs as well.  Be sure to make more than one disc or upload to an external hard drive.  I do both of these with mine.

This article is for my friend Tricia.  She wants to do silhouettes of her kids riding horses at sunset.  This shot was captured in manual mode, F8, 1/250 second exposure.

Here is an article that might help you find a better price on your airfare.  Everything I have been seeing has been really high lately.  Most of the time you end up trading time and convience for a lower fare so the more flexible you are the better fare you will get.

Here is today Thought For The Day:

"What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing: you wouldn't be an artist if you didn't want to share an experience, a thought."
 David Hockney

Remember to support your local merchants whenever possible.
