A new toy is awaiting me at home today. I finally broke down and got a digital SLR camera. I went for the Canon Rebel 10mb XTI with a lens that costs twice as much, the EF-S 17-55mm. I am also getting a flash for it, but I am still hesitant to get the 580ex [...]
I live in New York and space here is a commodity. I keep trying to make the most of our kitchen which is very small. I’ve never been a fan of pot racks because they are usually so bulky, until I saw this minimalist beauty. And I had to get one, of course. After some [...]

Having fun with Photoshop at Worth 1000
