Professional Photographers, Watch Out!

By Andrew Niesen



For all you photographers, if you're worried about Uncle Bob's taking your business, now you have another competitor to worry about! Felines are now getting into the biz! I wonder how much traffic, Cooper the Cat's blog gets? Cooper the Cat has his own fine art gallery exhibit, too!

Guess we all need to step it up a notch!

Passage to India

By Andrew Niesen


   
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” Mark Twain

Last night, as I excitedly watched Slumdog Millionaire win Best Picture at the Oscars, my heart danced back to India. In January, our family traveled to India to visit Andrew's youngest sister, who is living there for a year.

My first impression of India was the smell. Strong scents embrace you; India assails and inspires your senses. The feeling is visceral, internal and is very hard to articulate. The only thing I can say is: you MUST go!

Hopefully, this slideshow will give you a glimpse of Incredible India!

Me Ra Koh's Women's Workshop

By Andrew Niesen



We've enjoyed hosting Me Ra Koh and her husband Brian this weekend at our studio. Me Ra and Brian are soulful, gifted teachers who have a passion for empowering women. As I listened to the workshop attendees share about their lives, I was amazed by Me Ra's ability to elicit the passionate storyteller in every woman. Instilling confidence and curiosity were two important goals of the workshop. Each woman had a chance to share her artistic journey with the group, as well as reveal her fears in an encouraging environment. Of course, we also had the chance to practice shooting adorable children and their mothers! Enjoy these photos from the weekend and be sure to check out Me Ra and Brian's story HERE.
