My name is Suzanne Thompson. I enjoy photography, dining at non-chain restaurants, trying new vegetarian recipes, reading, blogging, and exploring new locations...the three most valuable are family, faith, and friends.
I was born in England, moved to Ethiopia when I was four, then to America when I was seven. In American, I have lived in eight states. Bob and I were married in January 2010 and we currently live in California and North Carolina.
Today, I bought my first two application for my iPhone. Previously, I have only “purchased” free applications to use. The application below is to turn your iPhone into a remote shutter release for a DSLR Camera. How cool is that. As my camera has the live view mode, I can also see the picture before...
The picture doesn’t show well here, but I’m in the center of the white circle. This picture was taken by Jasmine last night at the Orange County Smugmug Meeting. I even got “big props” from her for traveling from the high desert. Click here to see a larger version of the picture as well as...
This evening, I went ALONE, but with a full tank of gas AND my purse down to Costa Mesa, CA for the Orange County SmugMug Meeting at the Mesa Verde Country Club. The guest speaker was Jessica Claire. I also got to meet the very talented Jasmine Star who welcomed everyone to the meeting as...
Sunday’s embarrassment pales in comparison to what I did last night. Let me start by saying that each Monday, I go to the house of a married couple from church (David and Anna) along with several other people from church. It’s a mini social event, then we watch some DVD episodes of Lost. Last night,...
A huge Thank you to Bob for attending the Will Crockett Seminar on lighting in Raleigh, NC for me today. I’m trying to finalized on my photo lighting and saw that they were having a seminar there. As I’m here, and he’s there, he went for me. Not only did he go, but he also...
Last week, Ovi and Stephanie invited me to go boating with them in the San Diego Harbor. Was I interest? of course! Before I left the house, I made sure I had all the essential items: camera, check; suntan lotion, check; sunglasses, check. Off I went to drive about 150 miles down to the Yacht...
This evening, I talked with Pen, one of my friends from FL. We hadn’t talked for several months and recently had played phone tag several times. She wanted to see recent pictures of what is happening in my life, so I’m sending her the link to this blog. Here is a picture of her children...
Today, I went out for a walk and on my front steps was a package for my softboxes for studion lighting. How exciting. I had fun assembling them…if only I had the lights, then I could try them out.
When Bob and I were in Vegas for his birthday a couple weeks ago, a photographer took our picture when we went to see Ka. We had front row tickets for the show. Here is the picture…
Today, a pro was scheduled to clean the carpets, mattress and chair (in the bedroom). I arrived at the house about 10 minutes before he was scheduled to arrive to put the slides out. First, I leveled the vehicle…well the RV leveled itself! The bedroom slide went out fine, but the big slide down the...
