Hi Chris - I'm on vacation at the moment - when I get back I'll send you some details. Right now we are looking at Mighty Networks to host our scavenger hunt.

Thanks Mark - can't remember what I took this for. It's been a few years. :) I could reach out to Chris McAskill probably to find out more about where they see this heading. Right now Elizabeth and I have a place we're working on that …

I'm Back! After a hiatus from writing for Photofocus for a while, I'm back. Here's my latest article. Have comments? Add the to the Photofocus site instead of here on this post. Thanks! I have not been here on Cake in a long while. I don't …

Gorgeous - every year I put the one at a town near where I live on my calendar and every year I have something else going on and can't make it. It' kills me.

I just realized on Spotify yesterday that on the app on my laptop I can follow friends but on the web version I can not (or I couldn't figure out how). Then I went to try to find my friend on my app and couldn't find her. Sometimes things are more …

Awesome!

I do follow a few friends on Spotify too. Every so often I post "I need new music" on my fb page and get so many great suggestions. My husband & I see a lot of local/small venue bands too, we love it.

I've never been a big YouTube user to be honest. It's not organized enough for me! :)

Thank you for sharing this, it's lovely and I've not heard it before.

Your Steve Jobs stories are so interesting. There is so much to the behind the scenes that most of the world has no idea about. Thank you for sharing this song. This line, "Can't worry 'bout what's behind you or what's coming for you further up …

Funny how that happens isn't it? Good story!

Well, my plan was to upload a video here but I see that's not possible. Hmmm, now what will I do. I fell off the 30-day gratitude wagon, not that I haven't been thinking about it and looking at each day but I've just been focused on some other …

Thanks Chris!

Thanks so much. This exercise was a great learning tool for lighting, paying attention to details, watching reflections in items and proving that you can still make great images without the latest and greatest gadgets. Technology today has helped …

Lora Lee - I'm almost obsessed with NOT buying new gear. It's a funny sore spot for me for some reason. I could buy new gear if I wanted so it's not the lack of being able to buy it. I just feel very strongly about people not learning to use what …

Seriously haven’t been motivated to do much of anything lately. When I get like this I try to at least edit an image each day and even that is a struggle. https://www.laurinovak.com/2018/06/floral-friday/

I'm telling you these are getting more and more difficult! Wait until you see today's! This is such an awesome story and memories. How wonderful for you to have had this experience.

Absolutely love this! Thank you for the wise words.

I think it's ok to be cliche here for a change. I dislike cliche and work really hard to come up with things that are not, but this one means the most. I'm grateful for my parents, obviously, I wouldn't be here without them. So many things they …

I had no idea today's prompt was about touch. It just so happens that I had a massage today. I don't get them often because I find the table uncomfortable physically, my lower back bothers me laying there. Combine that with the fact that I do not …

Wow! Just wow. What an incredible story to be able to share and have been part of.

This is the in between image.

Thanks Chris. This was an image that I knew in my head when I shot it what the final image looked like. I have limited photoshop skills and worked it a bit in lightroom but at the time was going through a mentorship with someone who helped me …

I like the tones in this.
