Fun with photoshop

I recently got Photoshop CS5 and have been struggling with it for the fast few days.  I had Photoshop Elements 9 but things are quite a bit different.  I found a fantastic blog with easy tutorials on Photoshop as well as cool downloads for blog posts and freebies.  I mean who doesn't love freebies.
Over at Pugly Pixel i learnt a little something called Clipping Casts, watch the tutorial here.
And with that i made this cool banner for my facebook page.

This is such a handy trick to use! i love it and you should try it.
Let me know how you find it

Sean's 21st birthday

The big lead up to Sean's birthday?  His mother and I had planned a surprise party for all his friends and family.  You all know about those surprise party where the person actually knows all about it? Well this was not one of those.  I haven't been able to stop saying " for such a smart guy, you're pretty darfed".  It was a legit surprise, which just made everything worth while. 
The theme was red, black & silver - red & black being his favourite colours, silver being his mothers favourite.  Both being extremely stubborn we had a few head butting moments but all went down without a glitch. 

It was an amazing night & best of all he was happy.
Happy boyfriend, happy me.

Job idea? maybe.

I love that guy. He's the best.
Love him.

Elle & Dakota Fanning

Look who's all grown up.  And stunning it seems. We've decided to come into our looks and bring the little sis out too.

Elle & Dakota Fanning on the cover of W Magazine. 

This is a beaut. And look at little Fanning making her own way. Modeling that is. She has played a few small roles here & there but nothing substantial.

Check these out. She should skip the acting and focus on the modeling.

Hello little Fanning, il be your manager and make tons of big bucks off you. Great. Thanks

Mary Kate & Ashley - love

I spotted these pictures over at Vogue and it sparked at crazy obsession I've had with them.  In the beginning it was just because i loved their movies.  Though now I've come to realize that they are both real fashion icons - at least for me.  I mean how fantastic are these pictures.

Vogue

i love.  Yes there will another little snippet on these ladies - though more on the style and fashion side.

Say hello to Lea Colombo

Meet the brilliance of Lea Colombo, a photographer based in Cape Town.  Yet another local talent being discovered. Its great that people with talents like this are now being appreciated and given the true appreciation and following that they deserve.  Lea's work is utter beauty, and each photo has a certain finesse. 

Lea Colombo photography

There's a uniqueness in every photo that's not easily found with other more known photographers. Not that their work isn't great, i just feel that before you have that  'ive been discovered' moment, you have more of an intense drive.  Your work/love/passion is mainly for you and great if other people like it, but you get the bulk of the enjoyment.  Knowing that you have created something beautiful and completely your own. Which drives you to improve.

Find that drive and pursue it whole-heartedly.
