Trish Eberlein Photography: the times they are a changin"

It was brought to my attention by my brother in law, Al, that I am 2 weeks behind in "52 weeks of images". Well, that was in January...which means I am WAY behind in posting!

I am NOT one for excuses...however, a lot has been happening since my last post: A LOT!...the times they are a changin'

To ring in the New Year I bought a new PC. Unfortunately it took two "duds" and much back and forth to Microcenter before I got the one I am using now. So, I am happily on my way with machine #3: a blazing fast piece of technology! Is there anything worse (doesn't matter if you ar a mac OR pc) than computer issues?

Okay, after ALL the computer issues...fast forward to what has been happening.

My goal for early 2010 was to re-define my brand, which also means updating my logo, website and blog. Decided to tweak my logo for a more refined and chic look, something that says: Classic, stylish, simple and elegant. Here are two examples of the "new" logo:

I chose gray because it signifies intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. I included a soft yellow as it shines with optimism, energy, enlightenment and happiness. Yellow sparks creative thoughts and promise of a positive future.

...kind of sums up a bit of who I am and my promise to clients!

Stay tuned to the re-designed website and blog...

52 Weeks of Images

Week 2: Freckles the dog

I got a call recently from my next door neighbor Barb, saying she had someone she wanted me to meet. As I got out of the car, she AND her new puppy greeted me!

About 3 weeks ago, Barb and her husband adopted "Blitzen", now known as FRECKLES (you will see why as you scroll below). Freckles was adopted from the "Buddy Center", of The Dumb Friends League. He is a Lab/Border Collie mix, about 5 months old. He is the sweetest guy! Friendly and smart! Click here to see his available littermate.

Barb and I typically get together three times a week for an invigorating 2.5 mile walk...Freckles has been our energenic companion!

Here are a few images taken while on our walk Wednesday.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Yes, time for resolutions...or should I say goals.

I recently had lunch with two photographer friends: Happy Sohi and Tracy Quintana before Sandy Puc's Family Tour 2010 seminar. The girls got to talking about some ideas for keeping us constantly shooting, inspired and motivated during the year. We collectively came up with the idea of 52 weeks of Images!

Another friend Candy Rice,has decided to join in too! Please visit the links to view their 52 Weeks of Images!

Decided to brave the elements today and hike our property in search of something interesting to photograph for week 1.

Week #1:
Photo of the week. For comparison I have included the image "straight out of the camera or as shot". The second image is enhanced using Photoshop.

I like the results...
