Alright! Just thought that I would take a minute to update all the happenings around here.
We're really excited for our first in-person {life as art} workshop of 2010 coming up in just two weeks. The workshop is entirely sold out and we're busily making last minute preparations. The March 25-27 workshop is sold out too. Also, the workshop in Orlando on April 29-May1 still has a couple spots left, if you want a workshop a little later in the spring. Additionally, our June lighting workshop is sold out and the lighting workshop on July 9-10 only has 1 spot left.
Many of you have asked what happened to my group on Flickr. Apparently, Flickr is deleting all groups that are tied to a business or product, so I have instead created a page on Facebook for Flourish Emporium. I will be posting updates and specials there. You can also feel free to jump into the discussions section and ask questions. Also, if you post a photo using my products, feel free to tag me in the photo. This will help others to find examples of photos edited with my products.

Also, many of you have asked if I will be creating a Photoshop version of my Sunflare presets. And the answer is yes! I am currently working on creating a Sunshine set of actions that will add sunflare to your images. Additionally, I am putting the final touches on my new Ethereal Action set. It includes actions that will add a light, airy feel to your photo. I love this set, because it brings out detail in shadows and masks blown highlights. I plan on releasing both sets in the next 10 days or so.
Another sample . . . . .
