My new web site and blog are finally done, I think all the bugs are worked out and I've got a few posts up so I'm real excited. I love visiting my blog everyday. Thank you ITDR!!!

So... how about a contest to celebrate? I posted this on my Facebook biz page first. (Not a friend? Go here and add me as a friend.) Anyone who leaves a comment on the blog and votes for their favorite picture gets entered to win a $10 Starbucks/Coffee Bean/Jamba Juice gift card! Your choice! If you sign up for the RSS feed, you get two entries! If you forward this to a friend and they sign up here or on my Facebook page you get three entries! (Just remember to let me know by claiming your friend!)
Deadline is midnight Pacific time on Sunday so what are you waiting for? Not into juicy beverages? Feel free to show me some love anyhow. ;-)

And because all posts are better with pictures here is a photo I took of Heaven. Well, it's actually Turks and Caicos (Middle Caicos to be specific), but it was Heaven to me. The Caribbean has my heart and soul and this beach just floored me as I approached the cliff and looked down onto Mudjin Harbour . This is straight out of the camera - the Sea truly that amazing shade of blue. And yes, that was a storm brewing. We got caught in it on the boat ride back to our island and I loved every second of it (since I managed to keep my camera dry! LOL) If you are planning on getting married in Turks contact me for the deal of a life time!

(08.24.09 - 08:18 AM)Karen, is one of the best photographers I have ever worked with!
We met by accident which turned into a great friendship. She worked
with me at a live concert shoot for the group "The Sweet" about a year
ago and did a tremendous job.
Karen is without a doubt a star in the rising!
