Fit in 24 Hours
It seems that my personality is one of jumping completely into a project with all my energies. Exercise has not been one of those projects recently and therefore I am 1. Feeling a bit unhealthy 2. Not fitting comfortably in my pants.
Since no one can fix those issues but me, I joined 24 Hour Fitness and hope to make my health a priority once again without allowing it to take up too much of my day. I am excited because the gym I joined has Body Pump and Zumba classes.
So for those of you who are in the same situation, lets find ways to encourage each other. What are our favorite gym exercises and routines? All ideas are welcome.

Before and After - Misty Fog Mood - Artistically created on the iPad
 |
| Peter's Valley, New Jersey |
Headed to New Jersey today, not by airplane but by photo album.
This barn was captured during a workshop with Harry Sandler last June at the Peter's Valley. Workshops are always a great time of exploration and learning. This workshop was no different. I remember one student just wanting to take better photos of her grandchildren. I remembering telling her that after the workshop she will be able to do that and so much more. Another student used her iPad 2 on a tripod and was continually fascinated at what you could artistically do to a simple photograph.
So today I wanted to share a simple photo of a red barn that I changed artistically to a red barn on a damp misty day. I was obviously influenced by the weather of Portland.

Retro Alice Lake with Snapseed
 |
| Snapseed Processed |
Went back in the files today. This image was captured during my backpacking trip in the Sawtooth Mountains last summer. It is the incredibly beautiful Alice Lake!
When I was preparing for the launch of My iPad Live video course today, I was planning my Snapseed instruction. So I used it when processing today's image. I am really enjoying the uniqueness of the new Retrolux Folder. Did the final touches, dodging and burning with Filterstorm, feeling a bit like Ansel Adams.

iPhoneography Feeds My Soul in Portland
 |
| Time for gift giving! |
Shortly later while I was driving to work, yes I am employed hence the 'gone missing' concept (but more on that later), I decided to stop at a local park I have driven by numerous times. I was surprised at the number of cars in the parking lot on this drizzly misty damp day. When I first got out of the car I was fascinated by a lady all bundled up sitting under a small shelter reading a book. Why would she choose to read a book here? The photographer in me wanted to capture her in that moment but I chose to give her the privacy she deserved - I know some of you would consider that I am slacking!
I decided to borrow as a prop a bouquet of flowers that I had bought as a Thank you gift. I used it in various shots thinking of a Christmas card photo idea. Then true to my nature I started to get more creative and in the end found myself capturing my familiar - "back side" pose.
The image was processed with Moka Hanga, Snapseed, Filterstorm and Image Blender. I actually was a bit rusty and had to process the image a few times before I got it right.
More on the "gone missing" issue....
My fulltime job opportunity presented itself to me disguised as a 6 week project. Urgent Care Express needed a project manager and I had some personal experience on how to facilitate a construction build out. I fully engaged myself in the project sometimes working crazy late into the night. I was spent by the end of the day, nothing was left to be creative with, therefore my blog has been neglected. Well the 10 week project is now open for business and I am winding down from my duties with marketing. The project was extremely rewarding personally due to the fact of working with such a wonderful management team, allowing me to be creative in decor and graphic design materials, and the pure pride of getting the job done right. However I will admit that when I processed this image it just felt good, feeding my soul and reminding me just how much I love photography and iPad processing.
So dear friends, followers and admirers I AM BACK. Ready to blog, teach, learn, share and feel the passion that feeds me! Thanks for your patience!

Morning in Troutdale
Love my new morning view of Portland. Clouds never fail to add drama to a photograph.
Processed with the new update to Snapseed. Not sure if I like the "hair" at the top of the photo. Should use TouchRetouch to remove!
