Booze Photography

DSC_0167

I think I selected the perfect title for this post.  I have gone to several blog conferences and events this year.  I’m not a big drinker, actually I rarely drink anymore.  It is a good thing, believe me.  Julie can drink like a fish, but at the end of it all, she’s floating at the bottom of the tank…or maybe it is the top of the tank.  The bottom line, it is not pretty.  I learned my lesson at BlogHer last year.

I think I could probably say the my specialty is photographing drinks now.  I love all the different kinds of glassware, and the colors of the alcohol.  It is also much easier to edit photographs of drinks than people.  I captured all these beauties at Bloggy Boot Camp in San Francisco over a week ago. I miss everyone, even the pretty drinks.

So if you need someone to take random photographs at blog conferences, or pictures of booze….I am the perfect person for you!

I edited this photo of Tiffany, founder of SITS…and I had to post it.  It is pretty timeless and classic.  I decided to make it black and white.  We were at a club called Slide, which was a speakeasy during the Prohibition Era. How cool is that!

So the big question is, who do the shoes belong to? What is the story of the broken glass?

Although there are several photos, I think they are all sweet shots.  So go and visit the rest of the sweet shots at Sweet Shot Tuesday on Life with My 3 BoyBarians. There is always wonderful and beautiful photos to be found every Tuesday on Darcy’s site.

Where I Blog

I have a bazillion blogs that I read.  I try to get to most of them daily.  I have a few design and style blogs that I read.  I’ve seen many of them write about where they blog and what inspires them.  They have pictures of beautiful spaces, with their offices perfectly organized, and color coordinated, but not too coordinated.

I look around and think, “Why don’t I have these serene place to work on my blog?” Because, I’m in reality.   My reality is finding a time and place to blog when I get it.  We have an office in our house with built-ins and everything. But my husband’s computer (a PC) is hogging up that space.  I’m usually at the kitchen table, on a table in the family room, or perched between the blankets in our bedroom.

Oh, and sometimes, I’m hiding out at places that offer free wifi.  You never know where I might be found blogging.

Here are some photos of my blogging spaces:

Blogging at the Kitchen Table

My kitchen table.  I sit here mostly, because I can dump everything out on our table.  I’m able to pay bills, organize paperwork, and sometimes, yes, I eat while blogging.

Blogging From The Office

Do you like my double stacking computers? Actually triple stacked if you count my iPhone.  I was using Angry Husband’s PC (A Dell) to view a show on Hulu.  Yep, I was using it as a video player.  I barely use PC’s anymore, and my husband has all kinds of things on there that I don’t know how, or want to learn how to use.

Blogging From Bed

My laptop desk for my bed, was actually a shelf that we used to have in the garage.  It is a piece of melamine.  I loathe the touchpad on my Macbook. It frustrates me, mostly when trying to edit pictures.  I usually prop up pillow under the shelf when blogging to get the right height.  I was sorting laundry, and watching Bethenny Gets Married earlier today.

I should probably get a proper desk for the bedroom….now to find the perfect one.

So the big question now is, where do you blog?
