LadyKatesPhotography > January 19 Well, now.....that's just beautiful !?!? I'm telling you right up front that this was merely a test! A while back, I got a new computer, and 'went MAC'. Along with the purchase, for an additional $99, I can opt to take one-on-one, hour long classes, as often as once a week! Brilliant marketing on the part of Apple; if it hadn't been for that, I probably would not have switched. The classes have been EXTREMELY helpful. Today, I requested help in the creation of slideshows! So y'all are subjected to my first one! Two nights ago, I went to a Christmas party! Yep! This is an annual event, and us four attendees decided we can make Christmas last as long as we damn well want it to! "Because we can!" The wonderful background music is Raul Malo! ************************************************************************************************************************************* I DO NOT like how the photos are not full shots. I thought I had changed that setting - - - *&$# ! Back to the drawing board. And a BIG THANK YOU for all the wonderful comments on my rainbow image. I've been trying to check out the MANY spectacular photos presented by y'all, and offer comments, as well. I'm still behind:(
LadyKatesPhotography > February 20 Wanted to try using a video as my DP. On January 31, my DP and commentary were telling of an upcoming concert, in our area, which my friend Maria (Five Sisters Entertainment) is promoting/hosting. This will be her second show, featuring this musician, Raul Malo. The first of which was in May of '07. That show sold-out, and was an excellent event! This video is from that show. My camera was having a difficult time with focus, in the low light, but the unsteadiness was completely my fault! I find it VERY difficult to sit still while listening to this music!! Check out his early '09 show schedule for those of you that would be interested in attending a fabulous show!. I know that the show locations are in close proximity to quite a few of you, in your perspective areas. (Sorry for those of you outside of the U.S.!) He has a new CD "Lucky One", which releases on March 3! It is excellent! One of the best aspects of this '09 tour, is that they will be playing some of these new songs! YAYYY! Enjoy!
LadyKatesPhotography > January 31 My dear friend, Maria, is AKA "Five Sisters Entertainment"! We're in the process of 'generating and promoting joy' and 'bringing music to the community', with the next concert which she is situating in our area. (I'm acting as her helpful and efficient assistant!!.....which is why I haven't participated much in the DP community this last week.) Friday, March 13 Clark Center, for the Performing Arts Arroyo Grande, CA 8:00 p.m. Two shows at one event!! Tickets by phone: 805-489-9444 or online at: www.Clarkcenter.org The Clark Center is a beautiful venue, with an outstanding, wonderfully pleasant Management Staff! The acoustics are incredible, and there's not a bad seat in the house!! MTGraphics (MtGraphics@mac.com -- 805-466-5555) is our favorite local graphics/printing business, adding all the event information and printing of our beautiful posters. This show will be featuring two excellent vocal/musical artists, and their individual bands: Raul Malo http://www.raulmalo.com/ http://www.myspace.com/RaulMalo Shelby Lynne http://www.shelbylynne.com/ **************************************************************************************************************************************************** For you S'Muggers: It will be a GREAT show! Make your plans to attend, and spend a few days in the beautiful Central Coast of California!!! And, of course, let us know you're coming so we can visit with you! ........................................................................................................................................................................................... I set my trusty big knit scarf on the hood of Maria's car, as our tripod, and set the self-timer!
LadyKatesPhotography > February 20 **Shovel Dancing** - - it's the latest! Today was another long day at 'The Part-time Job', which is a house rennovation in Shell Beach, California. Throughout most of the day, there was an Electrician, the Contractor's Handyman, the Painter and myself. My job, for a good portion of the day, was to shovel dirt into a wheelbarrow as I was leveling a small backyard area. The occasional rain had stopped ; the sun had been shining again, intermixed with big, gorgeous clouds. The other three left for the day; leaving me to enjoy the later afternoon alone. Combining the golden, warmth of the day and the job I was working on, the afternoon was in need of some really good music! Opening all the doors of the car, I turned up the volume and that beautiful voice began to sing; just to me! My music of choice was that of one of my favorite male singers: Raul Malo. I tuned out the rest of the world! I danced a waltz and a two-step (don't need a partner for those !) under the carport and on the front lawn, while gazing upon the scene in this photo. I stopped dancing long enough to get my camera out of the car and was hoping to get a shot to use as a DP. All in all, I was really quite happy! Keep in mind, I'm wearing grubbies, work boots and gloves at the time! I played with the camera while listening and dancing to the wonderful music. I was needing (responsibly so !) to finish up the chore; I grabbed my shovel and went back to the dirt. The rythyms were definitely helping with the work until I heard Raul start singing "Cold, Cold Heart", and also "Every Little Thing". Now, imagine as I begin to 'Sway' and dance around through the dirt....with my shovel !! (I can't whistle!) YES........it was a great afternoon! Check out this link, and treat yourself to some of the music by this artist: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=50073277 To learn a little about him: http://www.raulmalo.com/front/wp-content/themes/default/rmbio.html One of the areas on his website is called "The Forum": http://raulmalo.com/forums/ubbthreads.php People join as members ; very similar to becoming a member of a SmugMug community (I'm identified as TheQueen !). I will be posting a message in The Forum so to refer those members to this DP and the story of how I chose to enjoy my afternoon, and to tell them of the Daily Photo Community. Hopefully, The Forum members will come spend some time in this community and enjoy the many beautiful photos. And, also hopefully, many of you that read this, will spend some time enjoying the links I've included regarding Raul, his music and The Forum. Better yet, get yourself several of his CD's; don't limit yourself to the five songs incuded in his MySpace player!!

Well, now.....that's just beautiful !?!? I'm telling you right up front that this was merely a test!
A while back, I got a new computer, and 'went MAC'. Along with the purchase, for an additional $99,
I can opt to take one-on-one, hour long classes, as often as once a week! Brilliant marketing on the part of Apple;
if it hadn't been for that, I probably would not have switched. The classes have been EXTREMELY helpful.
Today, I requested help in the creation of slideshows! So y'all are subjected to my first one!

Two nights ago, I went to a Christmas party! Yep! This is an annual event, and us four attendees decided we can make Christmas last as long as we damn well want it to! "Because we can!"

The wonderful background music is Raul Malo!
*************************************************************************************************************************************

I DO NOT like how the photos are not full shots. I thought I had changed that setting - - - *&$# !
Back to the drawing board.

And a BIG THANK YOU for all the wonderful comments on my rainbow image. I've been trying to check out the MANY spectacular photos presented by y'all, and offer comments, as well. I'm still behind:(
