Angels We Have Heard On High I thought I’d share some of the photos I’ve taken of my Christmas Angels. After all, Christmas will be here before you know it, or at least before you’re ready. The truth is out. I like to collect things. And among the things I like to collect are Christmas […]
Clean and protect your silk flowers with Simply Silk. There are a lot of different silk plant cleaners on the market today, and a number of ways to clean silk flowers without using a commercial cleaner. Over the years, I’ve tried many things, but my all time favorite way to clean my silks is using […]

And it’s about time! In the years that I was using the Canon Elan IIe, I took thousands of shots on professional grade color slide film. In the beginning, I paid a local printing company to scan them on their high-end flatbed scanner. It really did a nice job, although it was too costly to […]
