Last month I had a chance to visit my niece and her hubby, Melissa Hibbard and Hamid Rahmanian (they are independent documentary film makers in Brooklyn, NY – click here to see their latest film The Glass House).  Had a blast and got an local view of NYC.  They took me to their favorite restaurants, and Melissa and I shopped her favorite stores in SoHo and the lower east side and “alphabet city”.  What I love about NYC is that life is happening all around ALL the time!  Such diversity.  You wouldn’t believe the experience I had at the Whole Foods store at 14th and Union, 100 people lined up in 5 lanes to check out their groceries – I think in Texas we would have had several people going “postal” but there everyone just seemed to know what to do next and didn’t seem to be in any hurry.  It was a nice change from my suburban life I live here in Dallas.

I have lots of photos I am processing from the trip, so stay tuned and check back often to see more.  I will be publishing them all on my photo site www.LensQueen.com.   My first grouping is a small collection of photos I snapped using my “best camera” (Chase Jarvis says the best camera is the one that’s with you!) – my handy Apple iPhone 3GS (haven’t upgraded to the OS4 yet, waiting for my AT&T upgrade coming in February).   Here are a few to tease you, be sure to hop over to LensQueen.com to see the entire gallery.  Love and Peace!

I was in the mood for some creativity this long holiday weekend so in follow up to my Labor Day 10-Photo Challenge using your iPhone or mobile device, here are my results.  Tonight’s the deadline, so here we go!  Let me know your thoughts…peace and love – Sandy

Let’s forget politics, marketing deadlines, business plans and money for a minute and put our creative eyes to work over this long Labor Day weekend!  Join me for another 10-photo challenge, originally inspired by Chase Jarvis, photographer extraordinaire!

Here’s how it works:  Using your iphone or other mobile phone camera, take 10 photos within 10 meters of you.  Look for the detail, the color, texture, whatever inspires you  in the common or not-so-common things that surround you – whether you are at home watching football, by the pool, or travelling to an exotic destination!  Take a zillion photos then choose the best 10.  Then post them to your favorite photo hosting page – photobucket, smugmug, twitpix -  or upload to your Facebook  account or blog.  Be sure to “share” the link to the photos  via Facebook,  Twitter, Digg, and any other social networking site you are a member of.  DEADLINE:  have the photos up Monday evening.

Let’s look for the beauty that is around us and share it!  Spread the love!

Have fun!

Sandy

Here is my second 10-photo challenge with a mobile phone taking 10 photos within 10 meters of me!  Always a fun project and a way to try to see things differently and be spontaneous by using a camera phone, or in my case my new iPhone!  Here are my 10 from this July 4th weekend.  Love Love!

Life has been way too busy for me, but I have still had time to snap a few pixs along the way with my phone.  Here are some old and some new….love to all!  and don’t forget to check back for Saturday SOUL tomorrow!

Did you know there are 10 great photos within 10 meters of you? Just need a good eye and have your camera with you (or phone!). I challenged my daughter last night thanks to the idea I got from chasejarvis.com to look for 10 photos that are in your immediate environment. I am using my D70 Nikon with no flash, you can use your iphone, or any phone camera, or your favorite SLR or point and click. So, who is in for the challenge with me? Let me see your 10 photos!

Here is the latest installment of my MOBILE journal….from Las Vegas! We had too much fun!

I have been so sick this week with some kind of infection and a beautiful migraine! Pulling out and wanted to share a bit from my MOBILE journal. Back to the office tomorrow and will have some real meaty marketing stuff for you all later….for now, some more fun! love love!
