New Koi Fish Designs!

It's been forever since I've blogged! I've been super busy working four jobs (for reals) and it's just eating up all my photography time (insert super sad face here). On the other hand, working this much has challenged me to find new ways to take photos and what one item do I always have with me? My cell phone. It's got a great camera on it, at 8 megapixels, and there a million free photo apps I use to process my phone pics. So, I came up with a new category on my Zazzle store called Phone Photos. I only allow myself to post photos I've taken and processed with my phone. As a result, the photos look best on cards and postage stamps - but they're super fun!

One of my favorite phone photos is one I just finished working on today, a Koi fish taken in a fabric store...
I love this design so much that I did two versions...
The first card is great because the red and gold colors in it are so deep and vibrant. And I love the second one because it's got such a nice cross process look to it. These cards can be customized too. Zazzle has over 300 fonts to choose from and they make it so easy to add your own message.

That's it for today. I have more phone photos to work on, enough to keep me busy for a couple weeks. Keep in mind, I only put these designs on cards, postcards, and postage stamps. If you would like me to add a design to something else, you can drop me a line from my Zazzle site and I'll let you know if it can be done. Sometimes there just isn't enough pixels to print on an ipad cover, for example.

One last note, Father's Day is just around the corner and I've got plenty of designs for Dad too!
