Some Of My Favorite Apps

Here are some of my favorite apps:

Camera+ app allows you to have more creative control over your image when capturing a moment.

Snapseed app is amazing when editing your photos in post production.

Week Cal app is great for planing and organizing.

Things app is great organizing and planing a project or event. I used this app to help plan a birthday party.

Tomorrow app is used to create a to do list that you can check off what you accomplish and transfuse your list to the next day to try again.

Instantpaper app is great when you want to read a blog or website when you do not have Internet connection. You have to sync the app before you loose the Internet connection. So you can read the blogs later

Flipboard app is like a personal magazine that you can customize to your personal like on social networking and magazines around the world.

Photoverse app is great to read and discover photo blogs and website.

Inatagram app is great for sharing your images.

Pinterest app is great for making inspiration boards that you can share and follow other people.

The Best Marry Christmas Present Ever!

This year I gave my nephews a gift that they really wanted for Christmas!  I sat them down and told them I bought you guys a gift that you would like, i have worked really hard  for it and I have been saving up for it. And i want you  to enjoy it and take care of it! They guessed it was a dog! So I went to the car to get it! They where so excite and thought it was a dog! I was like no it is not!  I have them the package and told them to be careful it will break! They where so excited and surprised! Because I  wrapped the present put it in a box and then wrapped it  with tissue paper the but it in the bottom of a box with the same color tissue paper in the bottom. Then on top I put the wall charger and car charger covered with issue paper and put it a box with the package supplies. When they opened the box and saw the charger, the look on their face was priceless. It was like are joking what is this! So I hold them to  look in the box their is more. They discovered it and opened the present! They were like it was the best present ever!
The moment and expression on their face was priceless!
It  an Apple Ipod Touch!

Good Books

Some great books I have read and is a must is the following:

• VisionMongers: Making a Life and a Living in Photography by David DuChemin : The book give you an insight on what to think of when making a career as a photographer.
• The War of Art: Break Through the Block and Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield: I have heard great things about this book. It is great book for photographer who are in a creative funk. The book talks about resistances and how to be discipline in my art.
