a package arrived on my doorstep today that made me incredibly happy – have you ever walked alongside someone with a big big project on their plate and then witnessed it’s culmination?  a book (or rather a huge resource) for photographers struggling to find organization and systems that work well just shipped and it was created by my friend, millie, who is nothing short of a wonder.   her business acumen is matched only by her incredible talent and huge huge heart.

if through some wierd ‘back to the future’ occurance, i was able to hand myself this kit 10 years ago, what a learning curve it would have shortened.  if photography is how you spend your days, do yourself a favor, close photoshop for 3 minutes and hop over to getittogetherkit.com.  and yes, you need to buy it (it’s wonderful!)….if you wonder for a second about the purchase, call me and i’ll immediately gush even more about it.

i write about it *here* because a handful of readers are photographers, and well, because i like celebrating sweet success of a big project completed alongside my friends i hold dear.    warmly, -melanie-

never will a time come when the most marvelous recent invention is as marvelous as a newborn baby. [ carl sandburg ]

and people wonder why i’m so happy – look at this sweet sleeping baby, how couldn’t i be!  hope your derby day was lovely!  warmly, -melanie-
