Would a grand-reopening be complete without a brand new website? I think not.
I cordially invite you to join me in a philosophical look at photography, life, and 7th grade physics.

I am insanely busy and my to-do list is enormous right now. But I am happy to say my slideshows have been fixed. YAY!!!!
Ok, don’t hold me to it. But I am hoping to go live with the new website late tomorrow. So stay tuned!

OOPS!! Belated V Day Wishes!

I realize how utterly bad it is that the Crushaholic TOTALLY MISSED Valentines Day! I am sending this from deep in a digital hole to say sorry. Ever since I got ‘healthy’ again I have been working from the time I wake up until I go to bed with barely a break. The new website is coming along – gorgeous – very me – but a LOT of work.
Please accept my apologetic cyber flower!
Technical Issues
February 14, 2008 – 6:42 am
The good news or bad news first? How about the bad news. I am experiencing technical difficulties at prbphotography.com Some babble about hosting and updating and errors and blah blah. For whatever reason updating to the new host has taken DAYS…. Ian is handling it. I would be in trouble if I had to as I haven’t a clue what he is talking about when he explains it. I sort of glaze over and say yea yea and pretend to be listening. Hours on the phone and chat we are realizing that Ian has to troubleshoot the issues FOR the tech support because they keep screwing it up….. bla bla But for now my slideshows are on the fritz and who knows what might go next.
The good news? The reason I am having tech difficulties is partly due to the fact that I just bought a brand spankin’ new website and we are having to get our hosting updated before we can go ‘live’ with the new site. In the next week or two there will be a bright, fresh, clean, and exciting TOTALLY NEW www.prbphotography.com, new slideshows, new online ordering, etc.
Stay tuned and sorry about any frustration it may have caused in the interim!
Ok. After publishing this post I realize that my blog is not working properly, either. Go figure. I guess if you are reading this the problem may actually be fixed.
Um, no. Problem still not fixed. But at least the entertaining banter is back on.
Really loving this one

Wow. Sorry, Brie! You have been replaced with Josie! How gorgeous is she? I am seriously crushing on this photo from a cold and rainy shoot.
Empathetic Photographer

I needed to prepare for a client who wears glasses today. And, because I am the only visually impaired person in our household, that meant the camera had to be turned on ME. Wow. Glad that only happens once in a blue moon!! Well, I learned a lot. It was worthwhile and now we have this lovely shot of me that isn’t distorted (because my classic self portrait involves a wide angle lens at arms length — see large nose in above photo….) Bravo Ian!
More City Dog

Confession #5
February 6, 2008 – 11:03 pm
Confession #5: I am miserable at shifting gears. This confession is short and sweet. Not too deep but I need to vent as I sit here wide awake – past midnight – in bed with my computer. Somewhere in Oklahoma Steph is rolling her eyes. Ohmigod Paula is still a geek, she is saying.
Here we go–
When inspiration hits me, watch out. If it hits just right I can work and work and work and work. Obsessed. Tonight I ate dinner at my computer which was only possible because my dear husband cooked it for me. He also did homework, the bedtime routine, and dishes. I get Obsessed. Addicted to my work. And, now I reminded, I am totally prone to insomnia. Don’t worry. I don’t mean “up for days” here. I am not going to go Britney on “ya’ll”. But I am soooo excited about my photo shoot with Brie today – and my new series City Dog – I am brimming with great ideas and new locations for dogs and kids and future city dog shoots with Brie and other dogs and even Roger and Evan and anything else that my mind races and is going a mile a minute and I just can’t seem to shut it off……. Miserable! I lay here thinking about lighting and HDR and how to handle glass glare and where to go with an 18 month old that does NOT have any drab grass. I close my eyes and begin to photoshop all my captures. I try to relax but all I can see are vignettes and is it really possible to make a catchlight brush?? Isn’t that just cheating? I would NEVER cheat! HMPF! I never have been good at shifting gears. Just as I can’t shift gears to fall asleep I also can’t shift gears to wake up. Because here it is well past midnight and I am going to be dragging in the morning. As it is I am NOT put together in the morning at kindergarten drop off. Some moms have it all together first thing in the morning – nice hair and clothes and make up – and I am not one of them. No, I will not hit the shower until well after I return home for a second cup of coffee. Until then it is the same running pants, fake Uggs, and a YMCA tee with a ratty gray sweater. Every Single Morning. Picked up from off the floor approximately 30 minutes before we have to be out the door. Drag the kid out of bed who wants to get up as little as I do. Harass him to get dressed as I am rushing to pull on my sad outfit. Drag him out of bed three times since he keeps climbing back in and putting the covers over his head. Unbrushed ratty hair and dark circles (on me AND him). Coffee breath – me. Milk breath – him. It is just not a cute sight. Maybe typing a little will make me sleepy and force me to stop staring at my photos. I am really trying here. I will note that I intended this to be short and sweet and yet I keep typing… I think I may be starting to snooze….
p.s. If you ARE reading this Steph – I am thinking of you and that big belly! Any time now!!!!
