This morning when I went over to my computer to do some editing of a photo shoot I did on Saturday, I discovered an elf in my coffee cup with a memory card.

The back story about this elf is that about two months ago a friend took me to a “Seconds” store in Carson City Nevada to “look around”.  I discovered some darling elves made by “Annalee”.  I purchased six elves dressed in red and green to add to my collection of bendable elves.  Everything was fine until we brought down the Christmas decorations from the attic.  That’s when the mischief began.

I’ll take a look at the memory disc and see what he’s been up to, but I have a weird feeling about all this.  I don’t know too much about shelf elves, but I’m thinkin’ they are supposed to stay on the shelf.  At any rate, here’s a couple of my favorite photos from the photo shoot.

Red and Green look good on her

I’m sensing a theme here…

I had a great time Saturday at the Heinrick Agricultural and Hays Antique Truck Museum in Woodland, CA.  Lookpw.com put on a great workshop with fabulous models at a fabulous location.  A great group of gals called the Vicious Betty’s dressed up in their pin-up finest and other models who came with their retro (1940′s) style.  There were also many fantastic photographers along with some newbies.

I attended this same workshop last year and although I got a great many good shots, this year’s workshop was a lot more fun for me.  It could be that I had more experience under my belt…probably.  The models were just wonderful.

The retro style really suited the above model’s personality.  She just came alive and she was a lot of fun.

I’ve always thought this particular model should be photographed in a 1940′s backdrop because she has that classic 1940′s beauty.  She worked the part and her photos are beautiful.
