Nacho Ordinary Post | Bloomington Indiana Photographer

Amanda — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 21:47:55 +0000

Ahhh, memories. When I was a kid and we were either too tired or too lazy to cook, my step-dad Bill would sometimes make us nachos. These were no ordinary nachos though. They were homemade nachos from the oven with a bunch of yummy stuff piled on top. I loved them!

This weekend I was feeling a bit home sick (and maybe a bit lazy too ) so we decided to have some nachos along with some awesomely yummy guacamole burgers (with grilled mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, cheese, and guacamole of course). It was SO good and the kids had fun sprinkling the cheese on the nachos. I took a few pics and decided I would share.

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a food photographer. Man do I need to improve in this area! Also, in my defence, the light is really really bad in my kitchen.

The burned batch…

Weekend Link Love | Bloomington Indiana Photographer

Amanda — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 21:34:44 +0000

We are starting a new series of posts around these parts to spread the love to fellow photographers, crafters, bloggers, charities, and just cool stuff we love. We are going to call these posts “Weekend Link Love” or “WL<3 ” if we are feeling a bit lazy (it happens more often than I would like to admit). They will come to you on between Friday and Sunday and let you know about some cool stuff we discovered during the week. So without further adieu…

Cathy + David Photographers: A great husband and wife team of wedding photogs that create some of the most stunning and romantic images I have ever seen. They are located in Bloomington and actually live right across the street from me. Being a wedding photographer not only takes creativity, passion, and energy, but bravery too. They have all those things and are insanely friendly to boot. Check out their most recent wedding at a vineyard in Iowa. It’s just beautiful. If you or someone you know is getting married, check them out. They are already booking well into next year so act fast!

Photojojo!: I sell digital images and collections and I often get the question “What do we do with them?” The answer is… about a million different things. One website I often go to for ideas is Photojojo. They also offer great tips on how to improve your own photos whenever you can’t have a professional photog follow you around. Check out their DIY projects and have a ton of fun.

Alex’s Lemonade Stand: September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Alex’s Lemonade Stand is a wonderful charity working to raise funds for research in the field of childhood cancer. Hop over and take a look. Read about Alex, her family, and their mission. Donate if you can. If you can’t, pass this link on to someone who can. Reach out and make a difference to children with cancer and their families.

Alright everyone, hope you enjoyed our first WL<3! If you have a great link you think I should add let me know and maybe I will have it up here next week.

“What The Duck” | Bloomington Portrait Photographer

Amanda — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 19:14:30 +0000

I have been working on ways to keep this blog rolling with updates at least a few days a week and I thought I would share with you my favorite comic strip that just happens to be photography related.

The comic strip “What The Duck” is the brainchild of artist/photographer/”photoshopper” Aaron Johnson. He is so talented and very funny and is very generous in the fact that he allows free posting of his comic on blogs so everyone can share the fun.

If you like this comic hop on over to whattheduck.com. Aaron offers signed prints and even a WTH plush of the adorable duck in his comic complete with camera. Be sure to check out “The Vault” to see all the WTD strips that you have missed.
