Hola Esteban, Adiós Fernando

1 Breaking in Esteban

Esteban, my new computer, that is. He’s quicker and has prettier graphics. I admit to feeling a little shy about meeting him myself.

I’m not used to fast boys.

Tiny Little Toy

1 Toy_033J

This is Toy. I did a photo shoot for her a few weeks ago and she is just adorable! She wanted photos that played her small stature off of her sexier side. She is all curves and spunk and elfish sexiness. Not all clients have a look that matches what they want their photos to portray – those shoots are a challenge for me and I often fear I fall short. But I feel like I pulled off Toy’s wishes.

Having nothing to do with anything else in this post, I got a new computer! That’s the good news…the bad news is, I have to get him all set up, so I may not be blogging for a day or two. Never fear – I’ll be back as soon as Esteban is up and running. Yes, I name my computers – Fernando is being retired.

Just So Cao Doesn’t Get More Upset

I know, Cao, two days without a post – I’m sorry! I’ve been having problems with my computer lately and it reared it’s ugly head again. Whenever I work with graphics-intensive programs, like shooting photos in SL or Photoshop or even PicMonkey, my computer crashes and restarts over and over in a viscious cycle. So I’ve been holding off on posting until I can get the issue sorted out.

But poor Cao starts to fuss at me if I miss more than a day, so I’m going ahead and blogging this, with my fingers crossed. I’m not crazy about how the photos turned out, but I’m giving Fernando a rest and just going with what I had managed to get done.
