INDEPENDENCE Day!

ByEllen Lindner

My son is moving out! On July 4th. His Independence Day! I’m so excited for him.

And I also admit to a little joy at the prospect of reclaiming his bedroom for my own purposes! Yahoo!

I got to use his room a few years ago and it was so great. Once again, I have big plans for it. I’ll use it for photo and video shooting. Which will be MUCH better than my current set up, which takes place in the dining room or cramped studio.

Maybe I’ll even be able to keep the light stands up most of the time! I also plan to have a packing station. I can’t wait!

But, I WILL miss having my son around! Thankfully, he’ll be close.

The basic idea is to paint onto…

    While in Asheville, NC, my husband and I attended “Winter Lights” at the North Carolina Arboretum.  It was spectacular! Even from the parking lot, we were mesmerized by the beautiful light-wrapped trees. Tons of them. And when I say these trees were wrapped, I mean they were REALLY wrapped! Can you even imagine how many…
