Not much I can say about this.

This is what my dark room looks like.
I have a dual monitor setup, Lightroom on the left and Photoshop CS3 on the right.
I do the photo selection first with a series of rating and then color labels so I can easily navigate through thousands of images and then the initial tweaking in Lightroom and then move them over to CS3.
Each image can take as little as 1 minute to edit, but some need that special touch that can take 15 minutes of layers of CS3 editing or an hour or a whole day or longer to get the results I want. Sometimes I leave an image and come back to it later.
In Lightroom you can see I have several presents that give me some of my most loved effects, there are plenty more in CS3 but Lightroom gives me a great preview of the photo effects quickly.
When photo retouching and models, I typically work Photoshop at around 200-300% zoomed in. If you look closely, the sparkling wine is only at 50% right now, but that’s all that I need for this editing where I am effecting curves, colors, and saturation.
Of course, both monitors are calibrated with a ColorVision Spyder to get the prints the same colors as I see on my screens.

I go to one of my favorite photography websites to do some purusing and what do I see to my surprise? A photo I took in the upper left hand corner. 
For a little while you can see it here.

Last night I had the pleasure of working with Brittany, she’s stunning in person with a wonderful laugh and smile. Below is a few pictures from last night, there are a couple of dozen that I really like a lot, I woke up early and cranked out these few photos below.
I took Brittany and her friend Ashleigh to dinner afterwards to an Italian restaurant on Fountain Square called Via Vite.
We had horrible service and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anybody. Here is an example of how our night went. After being seated we were asked if we would like some wine and I asked what blend he would recommend, he suggested a $75 bottle of wine which I told him was a more than I wanted to spend, how about something cheaper. He said that you get what you pay for and here are no cheap wines that are good. WOW! I spent $150 on a meal and we got super crappy service, at least I had awesome company for the night,
