<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hello Friends!</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's raining like there's no tomorrow here in Boston, however I love the rain. It gives me a chance to slow down, just relax and do nothing. </span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Which is a rare event for my mind to sit still and do nothing at all. I am not comfortable on idle mode ( especially when 3 cups of coffee are added to the mix) but I have learned that it is in these quiet moments of doing nothing that magic happens. As a creative person, I see it as a refilling- replenishing our passions with an abundance of fresh ideas we otherwise would never have heard.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So, while I listen to the gentle rain outside my window with yet another cup of coffee, I will share with you t</span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">his photo shoot I did for last year's Spring issue of Romantic Homes. The month escapes me now, but I think it was the April issue.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #666666;">I use Canon's 7D with the 50mm lens, 1.2 and love it!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I prefer to shoot in natural light and the 50mm 1.2 lens is a great lens for portrait photography </span><span style="color: #666666;">in low light situations. It provides nice crisp photos and you can go as low as 1.2 on your dial.</span><span style="color: #666666;"> </span><span style="color: #666666;">I always shoot in raw and manual mode. If you own a DSL camera this will be a game changer in your quest for that professional looking image.</span></div>
