William and Robert’s B-Day Party
“Do you hear them! I saw them. William & Robert are near!
So, as fast as you can, think of something to do!
We will have to get VID of Thing One and Thing Two!”
So, as fast as we could, we went after our cameras.
And I said, “My Canon can get them I bet. I bet, with my camera, I can get those Things yet!”
Then I let down my shutter. It came down with a click! And I had them! At last! Those two Things – they fell for my trick.
So see for yourself by giving a click! The day was most sunny and we had LOTS of good fun that was funny!

Who knew we’d ever need this?
We recently had a business transaction with a family who does not speak English at all. We did not want them to misunderstand what we were saying so we started a search to find someone to translate. The first job, we learned, was to know something about the etymology of Asian names. Did you know that Lee is one of the most common surnames in the world? And that not only Chinese and Scottish families have made it that way, but also Korean. Boy do we wish we’d known.
In an attempt to be nice, we discovered that our Lee family was Korean, not Chinese, and that the Chinese translation we almost sent was probably a bad idea. Thank heaven we happened upon http://www.certifiedchinesetranslation.com/ and a gentleman by the name of Samuel Chong, who not only helped us with the Chinese translation, but then turned around and arranged for the Korean version, too.
In this global economy, there is so much to learn.

Gallery Wraps for Flower Fields
One of the best ways to present your Flower Fields portraits is a Gallery Wrap Canvas. The portrait is printed to canvas, but rather than framing it, we wrap the canvas around the edge of the stretcher bars. With Flower Fields portraits, this is especially effective because a softened image of the flowers is used to complete the edge. These two portraits in our hallway are perfect examples!

A Flower Fields proposal as it happened!
One of the wonderful things that I get to experience as a photographer is sharing life’s greatest moments.
Drew Keilen and his now fiancee Gina flew over from Arizona Friday afternoon. Drew had contacted the studio earlier that week to arrange a surprise for Gina she will never forget. He had received special permission to “sneak” into the Fields, where I was just photographing close-ups of flowers… until Drew dropped to his knee and we caught the action as it happened. Does it look like Gina said yes?
CONGRATULATIONS!

Amazing new addition to our repertoire!
New for the Flower Fields, and continuing into all our product lines, is our Impressionist Canvas. As the name implies, the look goes beyond the photograph and creates an Impressionistic art interpretation, which is then stretched to a gallery wrap. Each canvas is a completely individual rendition of your portrait created by Mary Keane.
