Well again I let way too much time pass between posts and one of my New Year's resolutions is to keep blogging!

The biggest news I have to share is I'm moving from Poway, to Julian, CA. I'll have a large in home studio to which I'm really looking forward. It's large enough to peremently set up my lights, plus room for printing and framing.

My work continues to grow, and 2006 was a very excitiing year for me. 2007 is already shaping up to be even more so I will be seeking gallery representation once I get settled. Meanwhile I do have a few shows scheduled. Anyway here's a few images that are my current favorites :) bye for now~~ Melanie
