Happy New Year's Eve!!! Be safe all!

Oh 2012.....

How I am sure I will love you.... but! if you would just wait a bit longer and give us all a little more time to get ready for you it would be much appreciated.
I need to finish budgets for inns and resorts, marketing plans and policy changes for a real estate company, music launch schedule for a music publishing group and that is just today.
So, please, understand and SLOW down your approach. I would rather welcome you with open arms than a mere glance up from a melting keyboard....

Reading...

Currently reading Rogue's Gallery by Michael Gross about the Metropolitan Museum of Art - it really is riveting.... just getting to turn of the century, lots of those with connections to Bar Harbor historically involved - great read for history and art and New York City lovers.

Food Photography

Doing a lot of reading today on food photography. I am well aware it is not just about the most expensive camera you can afford, it is truly art.
