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 went down to Orange County for a workflowshop with Matt Saville. I had a great time and it was fun meeting some other photographers. Matt had invited a model to come by the class so we could practice some of the techniques. Here is one of my pictures of Rachel.
This evening, Steve came by my house. He brought his new Canon T1i and I showed him how to use some of the feature on his camera. It also gave me the chance to try out my new lights.
[b]ecker was the guest speaker at last nights OC (Orange Country) SmugMug Meeting. He talked about passion and profits. The Costa Mesa Country Club lets the group use their banquet room, but the group has to be out by 8:30 p.m. Here’s a picture I took with my iPhone, but if you check out Jasmine...
Last night, I went to the monthly Orange County Photographers meeting in Costa Mesa. I had remembered reading about a Whole Foods Market that was in the Newport area, so Bob checked out the location and directed me on how to get there. I enjoyed walking around and couldn’t resist talking pictures with my iPhone...
Last night, I went to David and Anne’s and got to see Yeti again…all 2 1/2 pounds. Here’s a few pictures that I downloaded from David’s Facebook page.
Last week, I ordered Bob a surprise gift of a photograph that he took of me laying on a park bench when he was here. It was a 16×20 mounted photograph on 1/2″ board with a black border. It arrived at his house today. He was really excited with the gift and he sent me...
How much would you pay for this cheese? It is described as, “Organic Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is produced in the mountains of Italy under the most idyllic of conditions. The beautiful red Alpine cows, all born and raised on the farm, roam acres of pristine alfalfa fields breathing fresh mountain air. We think their rich...
It’s taking some time getting used to my new Mac. I do like the keyboard and am enjoying the fun features in iLife 2009 such as face recognition and gps places. It’s amazing how accurate the face recognition is…although I did have a good laugh when it brought up a plate of Italian food and...
This evening, I went over to Steve’s house as his new Canon T1i arrived yesterday…Canon’s latest DSLR. What a great camera. A lot of the features were similar to my DSLR so it was easy to show him how to use different functions. One really neat feature that he has is HD video capabilities. We...
This evening, Bob and I went up to the church for a School Fundraiser. It was a Tapas dinner which consists of appetizer portions of several dishes. There was some great food. The cannolis were delicious as Kevin, the Cordon Bleu Chef (from church) makes them from scratch…including the ricotta cheese. Yummy! Before dinner, Bob...
