Funky Finds - Spring Fling

I had originally wanted to apply to get into this show, but when I went back to the website to put in my application, there was already a waiting list. But I decided to go to show some support for my Etsy Dallas mates and take a few pictures.

One thing I noticed is it was HOT. Poor vendors... But when I ran into a few ED members, they were all in good spirits. They all said it was a pretty good show. I hope The peeps at Funky Find do more!!

Here's a few pics I took :)

SusanaOrtiz.com Launch!

I am pleased to announce the launch of SusanaOrtiz.com.


I teamed up with my day job boss and we designed this sweet, simple, flash site to showcase my photography. I decided to start doing photography under my own name, so I got the domain that is, well, my name. Because... what if I get famous or something? Hehe, one can wish!

It's only got a few old pics up, but I will be adding more soon. I have a few projects coming up that should spice up my portfolio.

Anyway, take a look and tell me what you all think. Test out the email and send me a note!

I got Holga, How 'bout you?!

Ok so I'm a couple years too late, but I've finally jumped on the Lomo bandwagon. I remember reading in W Magazine, a LONG time ago, about these cool toy cameras that take very imperfect but interesting pictures. I'd been eying a few online, cause they are really cheap (about $40 to $60 depending on the brand.) I finally broke down and bought a Holga.

If you haven't heard about Lomography, you should definitely check it out. There's a Flickr Pool, 18,700 members strong, dedicated to everything Lomo. There are some really artsy and beautiful captures, and a lot of it is accidental. The imperfections of the camera are what make it so special.

I'm planning on creating prints of some of the stuff I capture, so keep an eye out for new stuff in my shop.
