Here is a really easy way to carve your pumpkin for Halloween. Just clean out your pumpkin like you usually would but then instead of a scary face, cut a window into the front of your pumpkin and pin a photo on the inside of it.
Kodak is working with YouTube on a great destination for moms - For Mom: Your Online Survival Guide. The For Mom site features lots of great videos with tips, advice and inspiration for moms, from moms. You can find videos under topics like "In The Home" and "Health and Beauty".
We also added a few videos with advice for moms... from kids. You have to take their words of wisdom with a grain of salt, but they are very funny and very cute.

A while back I did a post about painting from photos - last month I tried my hand using pen and ink.When drawing from photos I like that I am not tied to a location. I drew the following sitting outside listening to lectures or waves lapping the shores of the Chautauqua Institution.
The three pictures above informed the drawing below.
Having a few pictures to inform the view lets you see details you might have missed if you work from just one.
Drawing from photos takes me back to that place. Reliving that day, the people, the sounds - everything.
Call me selfish but I haven't found the same inspiration to draw or paint photos I didn't take myself - until now. My brother traveled to Tibet and took some fantastic pix. He told me that he was inspired by some of my photos showing close-ups of various subjects that round out the story of the place. That inspired me enough to draw this picture for him. It is a surprise so don't tell him! ;-)
The detail on this one was something else - what was I thinking?!
I draw from photographs. It is an analog outlet in a frenetically paced digital world. If other people find enjoyment in these all the better. What is your outlet?
Of course I am writing this blog post and will certainly be tweeting it so that brings it full circle back to digital doesn't it?
