I love Valentine’s Day. It’s so romantic and full of kisses and roses and candy and holding hands and other romantic things.
That’s why I’m offering a Valentine special. Let me photograph you and your valentine for a romantic photograph and a romantic photograph session that you won’t soon forget.
Ten romantic photographs, fully retouched, ready to print on a CD. You pick the place. The cost…only $100.00. (Cost may be more outside a 30 mile radius of the Placerville, CA area.)
This Valetine offer is available through February 5, 2010. Contact me at schmautzhaus@sbcglobal.net for an appointment.

My old faithful cat passed away today. I think he was about 17 years old and we have had him since he was born. This photo was taken last week, but you can see by his eyes that he seems very tired. Poor old guy.
This is the first time in 30 years that I haven’t had some sort of pet. Spot was the last of three pets to pass on this year.
He was a good old cat and he will be missed.
Rest well, old friend.

to you and yours…
We’re heading out to Plymouth (California not Mass) to celebrate with over 100 relatives at an old one-room school house. What a treat.

Since my portfolio is due tomorrow, I’m trying to finish up the pieces I want to present. I finished the one above today and I’m pretty happy with it, so I will probably include it. I am still deciding about the next one. I like it, but I’m not crazy about it.

I think this might make a good advertisement, but it’s not really portrait art, which is what my project for my portfolio is all about.

And I will probably include this one. I don’t want to do too many because the more I turn in the more chances I have to screw up and get a bad grade. Sigh.
At any rate, it was fun doing all these fun techniques and I learned a bunch about photoshop.
Wish me luck.

I’ve been taking an advanced Photoshop class at the local college. It is taught by a Sacramento Wedding/portrait photographer and I have learned so much. The class has also sparked interest in learning to do more with the photos that I take.
Here’s a couple of examples:
