    I am NOT a Photographer

    I AM

    I am lots of things.  Marketer, Daughter, Canadian, Female, Blond (well, dyed), Fun, 28, Single...the list could go on forever.

    I AM NOT

    One thing I am not is a Photographer.  Seriously.  Then I started working at Photrade.  Talking to photographers.  Sounding like an idiot.  So, I thought, I should try to take some good pictures.  Maybe I'll feel like less of a fraud (not that I ever claimed to be a photographer).

    So, out I went, with my Canon Powershot in hand - and seriously - look at the results.

    This makes me believe that ANYONE can be a photographer (OK, if you are a photographer please don't kill me for saying that).  So, my photos are now posted on Photrade and hey - someone might even buy some.  I have some empty frames that I have been DYING to fill, so I think I'll order some prints of the flower series......

    Anyways, the point (if I can say I have one other than bragging about my pictures), is that ANYONE can take really great photos.  Ah the joys of technology.  Anywho, Photrade is invite only, but I do have a few invites hangin out in my back pocket, waiting for a rainy day.  So, if you post a comment I'll share the the love back and hook you up with an invite.  Limited # though

    Photrade.com - Exclusive Beta Test LIVE today

    In all of my free time (as if) I work on marketing a GREAT and AMAZING and WONDERFUL website www.Photrade.com.  We have the most ways to make money from your photos of ANY site on the net.  Seriously.  That is our claim to fame.  And the bonus is that its true.  The most ways to monetize your photos.  And you don't have to be a photographer (I certainly am not).  You just have to have photos that you like to share or post on your blog.  Yup.  Thats it.  For real.

    What does the site do???  Think Photo Sharing PLUS Stock Photography PLUS ad revenue (in my simple terms).  Details can be found on the site or on the photrade blog (which I also have the pleasure of writing).

    Photrade.com is currently in an exclusive Beta test, and we have a limited number of invites that we have released to current Photraders and other special people we love.  If you are interested in checking out the site shoot me an email and I might be able to hook you up with an invite.  This is why I'm hot.

    Sooo....if you have any feedback on the site, how to make it better, how to market it better, or just how I can be a better overall person, let me know :)

    Homeward Bound - (Soon I hope)!


    I haven't been home since Christmas.  Its amazing how easy it can be to get caught up with life and all of a sudden, 7 months later I still haven't made it home.  It always seems like a bad time to go (uber-lame excuse).  So, since its been so long, I have to admit, I'm feeling a little homesick.  What does that even mean? 


     According to Urban Dictionary - Homesick -Acutely longing for one's family or home.  Interesting.  I will actually be returning in a few weeks for the "August Long Weekend" - A Canadian holiday, just a random excuse for a long weekend in August.


    So, in honor of my feelings for the day, I wanted to share some pictures of Toronto...... I love Toronto - seriously, one of the greatest cities EVER.  I hope that you enjoy my photographs!




    Photo of the CN Tower - (Americans often refer to this as "the giant needle thing") - one of the great landmarks in Toronto.  I used to see this every day on my walk to work, from my apartment window and rooftop deck.....ahhhh.....the memories.


    So apparenlty I have very few photos from Toronto on my computer.  I'll have to take more when I'm home.  Stay posted in eary August for photographs of Toronto - then you'll really understand why I love Toronto :)



    Photo from when my Friends came to visit in May - I think it held my homesickness at bay for a little bit.  But now it seems so long ago.

    Sunsets


    Sunset - My favorite time of day.   



    The day is over. The sun is setting.



    For a brief moment, the sun sets and the sky erupts with colour.  Peaceful.  The chaos of the day dissappears as night descends.  A time to reflect on the beauty in the world.  A break from reality.
