FREE PRINTS IN THE MONTH OF MARCH!

Hey all!

In honor of my upcoming birthday (April 1st!) all orders through the month of March will also receive one free 8x10 print. It will be a print chosen by me... but no worries, I have good taste! ;)

(Remember, items start at $10! And the most expensive is $55! Not too shabby!)

There's no time like the present to buy! The Spring gets extremely busy with events, and orders may get out a little slower through the months of April and May. So order now! Mother's Day, Father's Day and Graduations are coming up! Get a head start so you don't have to worry about it later!

What are you doing with those tax returns? The rooms in your house need a little bit of a face lift don't they? Nothing does it better than a little bit of new art.

As always, everything is really affordable, and pretty near one of a kind. You can't find this in your local Walmart or Michael's.

So definitely check it out... help me beef up my birthday fund! (Only kidding) :)

CHECK OUT WHAT YOU CAN BUY!

An International Fan Base, and Thank You Seattle!

Hey Everyone...

So I was just looking at Calaveras Photography's Facebook statistics today. And I noticed an interesting thing... Although a majority of the fans are from these United States (roughly 95%)... the other 5% are from other countries.

These countries include the following:
Argentina
Canada
Spain
Italy
Bahrain
Czech Republic
Germany
France
Indonesia
Israel
India
Netherlands
Philippines
Puerto Rico
Thailand
Venezuela

So I want to give a special thanks to everyone from those countries who has stumbled upon this artwork and decided to become a fan!


Also... a special thank you to the Seattle fans! Out of all the top ranking cities for the fan base, you are the only city listed that is not in Central California!

Hey new fans! Welcome!

Hey everybody!

So we reached our goal of 400 fans by the end of February! Great job! And thank you so much for enjoying and sharing my art.

For those of you who don't know, there is a monthly photo giveaway where you can win any photograph that I have taken. You can enter that contest at CalaverasPhotography.net

Also, if you would like to own some of the artwork you see, everything can be bought online. Do you want just a print? Or how about the photo matted and framed? Do you want a pre-made set of three photos? What about a calendar or coffee table book? You can check out all these things at CalaverasPhotography.net. Special orders can also be made for bigger prints or items. Just email me at calaverasphotos@hotmail.com

Feel free to invite other people to become fans! Who knows... add your friend then hint at the photo you want the most. Maybe they'll be awesome and get it for you!

My Little Art Project

So.. I've been meaning for some time to come up with a logo to identify my shipping boxes. I decided yesterday was the day! I had never done any stencil or spray paint work before... but I had an idea of what I wanted to do.

I went to Office Max and got an x-acto knife and some foam board. Then I went to Home Depot to get a can of spray paint. I quickly realized, that I am extremely out of place at Home Depot at 9 am. Except for one little old lady I saw... we were surround by construction workers. I don't know why that didn't dawn on me before... and I don't usually feel out of place anywhere I go... but it was a strange feeling.

Anywho, when I finally got home after work and school I set out to cut out "Calaveras Photography" in the foam board. Needless to say... it didn't work out as planned. I now have a mess in my living room, and a really sharp x-acto knife with no safety mechanism just laying around my house (beware intruders!).

I finally gave up and just cut it out of regular paper. And only did a "C" "P" and a skull (for those of you who don't know, Calaveras means 'skull'). Lesson learned. But I will try to do the "C" "P" and skull in a more permanent foam board piece. I just need more patience to do it. Maybe when I don't have tons of school work to do!

So here was the final product...

Banners for valleyspringsca.us/

I was asked by valleyspringsca.us/ to create a few banners for possible use on there website. So for my creative outlet for the day, that's what I've done :)

Have to do something to keep from falling asleep in class. Hurray for multitasking!

So here they are... because I like to share!

Previous Second Saturday Sacramento News and Review

So... I just now got this photo off my phone. But figured there was a need to post it. It's blurry... but what do you want? It's just a phone! This is my artwork that was at Second Saturday in December (I think)at the Sacramento News and Review in Midtown!

Hopefully you like the episode, I was proud of how it turned out! I could probably use some better skills on being in front of the camera.... but that's why I'm a photographer... I stay behind the lens!

Calaveras County Arts Council Chairs for Charity!

Hey everyone!

Tomorrow is Calaveras County Arts Council Chairs for Charity event! I have donated a piece to this event! Of course I had the perfect photo to help add to the awesome collection of Calaveras artwork. My signature photo that I love so darn much of the white rocking chair I had when I was little. Fits the theme perfectly!

The Calaveras Chairs for Charity Auction will begin at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Native Sons Hall on Main Street in Murphys. Tickets are $25, including dinner and the decorated chair auction. Proceeds will benefit the Calaveras County Arts Council, Calaveras Community Foundation and Soroptimist International of Calaveras County. For more information, call 754-1774.

I will not be attending, but if you are attending, please take photographs and share them with the rest of us!

It's Sunday!

Hey everybody!

So it's Sunday. School starts tomorrow. Way lame. But, that's life for you. 6 months and I never have to go to school again... until I go get that MBA.

This semester will be filled with tons of stuff. However, the only thing I'm looking forward to is going to Alcatraz to take some photos. I'm not 100 percent sure when I'm going. But I know my mom is going with me. Also, Lydia Stafford may be going too. She's been doing digital photography everywhere she goes! She's pretty awesome, Miss Calaveras 2005, and now works at the Visitors Bureau for Calaveras County. So that should be an exciting trip whenever it actually happens.

It'll fit in somewhere between work, four marketing classes, and a finance class. I swear, I will survive! At least I hope so.

So I've decided I'd add some of my personal life in this thing... for those who want to know the person behind the photos a little better. Not much to know, but it's here if you want it! :)

The First New Post

Hey everybody!

So... I've gotten tired of the 'notes' area on Facebook. So we're going to try this Blogger thing for a change. I figured it can't hurt. And although it's nearly 9am on a Saturday, I still haven't gotten out of bed. So working on the laptop sounded like a perfect plan to me!

I will be getting up soon though, websites need to be updated. And I need my monster desktop for that. I love that machine!

So anywho, we're going to try this bit out for a while. We'll see how it goes!

Love ya guys!

Tangent Gallery's Nightmare on Franklin

Anyone who missed Tangent Gallery's opening show tonight should be super upset. It was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. It's a small location, but they had various art pieces with a haunted and scary theme. The lights were out, and they had creepy music and sounds, smoke machine, and you got to view the art with dimmed flashlights. Absolutely awesome! Made my three pieces look sehr gut! (very good)

Second Saturday Went Great!

Thank you to all my friends who came through to check out my art yesterday! And also thank you to anyone who is now looking at this who wandered through last night! There were about a million people out there (I'm exaggerating a bit). And the people at Rag Doll Vintage were kind enough to let me hang my art up everywhere! They have a really wonderful store with super cute clothes! And the ladies that work there are great! Stop by if you're ever in Mid town! 24th and J streets!
