Love Your Shot! | Link-Up

by Misti on September 9, 2010

My tip for the Love Your Shot! Link-Up this week?…look for a unique point of view. Don’t be afraid to look silly while photographing your subject! For my photo below, I was practically laying down on the side of a country dirt road. Of course, I had a spotter to make sure I wouldn’t get [...]

What a Catch!

by Misti on September 7, 2010

My husband, Steve loves to fish. He loves angling almost as much as he loves football…almost. It’s more of a hobby for the off seasons, but he loves it nonetheless. He loves the thrill of the fight…the anticipation of having the BIG one on the line…ummm…maybe next time, Steve! Photo edited in Photoshop, using Photo [...]

I worked for hours and hours on that drawing…I took critique from the professor like you can’t believe…I struggled with my [...]

by Misti on August 16, 2010

Have you ever wanted to take a walk back in time and visit an era that’s long been forgotten? Well, if I had the chance, you can bet I’d go back to the Nineteen Forties.  It was so much more simple back then…time didn’t fly by so fast and there was just a certain charm to…well…just about everything…the way of life, [...]

Love Your Shot! | Link-Up

by Misti on August 12, 2010

For those of you who have not seen the movie, “Horton Hears a Who!”, I must apalogize in advance. For what I’m about to write will make no sense to you whatsoever, and you might just think I’ve lost my mind. This is my favorite, and by far the most classic line in the movie, when [...]
