My 'Favorite Photo of the Week' was actually taken last week, but as sometimes happens I am a bit behind in editing. This one was taken at The Marietta Square in Georgia while hanging out with the boys, our grandsons Nathan and Elijah. If you look closely, just to the right of the pole, you'll see my favorite shoppe on the Square, Limelight. Make sure to stop by if you are out and about in Marietta.
So, I took my new book, Still Mostly True by Brian Andreas to work as I mentioned last week and here's what happened....
So what's new?
- First Friday Art Walk at The Marietta Square - This is a free self-guided tour is creating an art scene renaissance on the Historic Marietta Square.

- Paint in the Pods - First show of the year for Women in Focus at the Sundial Restaurant at the Westin in downtown ATL. Join us on Wednesday evening, March 9th from 7-9pm for the opening. The view is breathtaking from the top of the Westin (73 stories), where you can enjoy the photography of WIF members and complimentary hors d'oeuvres. The show runs through April 30th, so you've got time to check it out if you don't make the opening. I dropped my piece off this afternoon - hope to see you there!
- I've been learning alot of new photoshop tecniques by checking out the Matt Koslowski seminar via Peachpit Photo Club. They have a library of past seminars that are 1 hour to 1 1/4 hour long that you can watch for free. Even better you can download these lessons for future viewing at time that is more convenient to you (and when you may not have internet access). I learned about these on one of my very favorite blogs, Weekly Photo Tips. Make sure to check both of these out.
We are 11 days away from a new adventure. Robert has enjoyed his current job, but is anxious to begin a new chapter of his life. We'll start with a visit from Noe & Brayden, then a visit to Savanah the following week. I excited for him.... and me!
Until next week, go out and try something new!
Sounds like a lot of good things are in store for you and Robert!
