Alright I’ve been reading Q&A’s from a bunch of my Twitter friends over the past week so I’ve decided to jump on the Ask Me Anything bandwagon. So feel free to go for it. See that little box in the sidebar on the left side of the screen? Go ahead and ask me stuff…it can be anything really and I will answer. Try to ask questions that I can answer in a sentence or two though. This is for fun, not an online workshop. :)

Happy Holidays to me! It’s been a long time since I’ve had a decent point-and-shoot camera…I mean a loooong time. I do have a half-broken 3 MP digital elph lying around somewhere but the image quality was always so lousy that I couldn’t even bare to have anything printed…and isn’t it sad to not have any pictures of the fun things you do in your life? And since I’m not one of those photographers who likes to lug around a big SLR & lenses everywhere I go, I decided it was finally time to get myself a new point-and-shoot. So as a holiday gift to me, I got myself a Canon G-10 from Samy’s…who definitely had the best deal around on this baby. Did you know that if you order online from Samy’s, everything is about 10% cheaper than in the store. Good to know, right?
So now I have a great camera that I can stick right in my purse and take with me everywhere. That’s what I thought anyway but it seems that the husband has hijacked it for the past week to take to tv shoots. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to steal it back from him so that I’ll be able to shoot images to share on this blog of regular life again. I do have some to post tomorrow about our little holiday trip to Palm Springs…

I know I’ve been gone for absolutely ages but after my craziest holiday season yet which included photographing 30 families in 30 days (am I crazy or what?), after a nice little vacay, I am back and back with some New Years resolutions.
1. To embrace social media & contribute to my various blogs more often. When I first started blogging back in 2006, I blogged about everything in my life. I blogged so much that I had nothing interesting to say in person because everyone I knew had already read about my life. Not that I want to be uninteresting in person, but it’s all been photos & business lately and I’m resolving to blog about regular life as well.
2. I have given up any and all meat that is not from a humane farm. I have not become a vegetarian. I will still eat meat & fish etc. This basically just means that I am only allowed to eat meat that I purchase myself from Whole Foods. It’s not that I don’t love meat…believe me, I do. But I’ve recently been having a personal crisis over animal cruelty and have decided that this is one small thing that I can do to promote humane treatment of farm animals while treating my body a little better too.
3. Oh yeah, and get in shape…but isn’t that every year? But this time I mean it. :)
I’m also happy to announce that we just launched a brand new blogsite for the DC studio that I have with my mom & sister, www.studiodiana.com. Go have a look when you have a free moment, I think it’s just beautiful and I can’t stop staring it. This is yet another blogsite by the amazing amazing folks at Identity Kitchen.
They have been kind enough to offer a 10% discount on new branding/ blogsite projects between now and January 31st. Mention Studio Diana to redeem your discount. Okay, that’s all for now but I have tons of images to blog so I will be back soon.
