Premier Lightroom Presets Bundle

Hi all!  This week in Rains on the Plain professional news, I've bundled all four of my Lightroom Presets into a discounted bunch and put them on sale in my Gumroad store.

A Future Less Ordinary

It seems strange to talk about influences on my writing since I'm not doing much of it right now, but it is on my mind.

About this photo: Winter Gold

I walked by the place where I took this photo just recently, and it got me thinking about Winter Gold.

Spring! Finally!

Spring came late this year to my neck of the woods.  I live in Massachusetts, and as you may remember, we had a lot of snow this year.

About This Picture: Lake George

I started thinking about some of the photos I've taken, and how they mean a lot to me, but that meaning doesn't always come across in the photo itself.  I'm always glad to take a wonderful photo of a beautiful natural vista or city that invokes the innate wanderlust in our souls.   Now, I'm here to talk a little more about some of the photos I've shot and why I like them so much.

Traveling and a Discount

Just got back from a short trip.

Update notice

Just a small notice to say that I'm updating this blog twice weekly, on Mondays and Wednesdays for tat least the month of May and probably beyond.  Hopefully posts will build up to more frequency, but until then, see you twice a week!

Fabric Retrospective

One of the things I really enjoy about working is making up new fabric patterns.  I've shared quite a few of the ones I've made on this blog, but I'd like to do a small retrospective of some of my fabrics.  All of them are available on Spoonflower, and most are not just fabric, but wallpaper and wrapping paper as well.

Spring Inspiration

Spring, despite my allergies and related crankiness because of them, is a great time of year.  It's always when I feel the most energized with relation to my work.  I love the possibility contained in spring and how it makes me seek out new creative opportunities and inspiration.
