Fridays Finds~

In a previous post I talked about Google+.  I am still on the fence, however,  I did get an invite and registered.  I think you need quite a bit of time to work through what it is and how it all works. 

Here is another article - Scott Kelby is a source I trust-

Are you on Google+?  what are your thoughts?

This is great - when I was a kid we used cards & dominoes to build these crazy walls that we would tip and watch fall, it was fun to see how creative we could get.  We didn't hold a candle to these guys!

Happy Friday!!

I have ordered glasses from this company in the past. 

I kept one pair, returned another.  Great customer service, easy ordering and returning.  They do specials on facebook all the time-

I have this on my ipad and really love it.  The description reads -Moodboard is the bestselling app for creating mood and inspiration boards on your iPad. Each board is a blank canvas for organizing the things that inspire you. Add photos, text, color swatches, and special elements to your boards, then share them with friends and colleagues, anywhere, anytime.  Great for keeping my ideas together and organized!  I also do a vision board with it.

On Fridays when I go to publish this blog I am usually listening to the Today Show on tv.  They have a Friday summer concert series that I like.  A taste of different music live outside the studio. 

Here is the schedule link

Toyota Today Show Summer Concert Series

Next Friday - Journey -

I went to a handful of concerts back when and they were one of them.  Looking forward to seeing/hearing them on Friday.

Newborn Model

Looking for one more newborn model. Do you know someone expecting or with a newborn less than 10 days old in the Tucson/Marana area? Have them email Amanda@behindthezoom.com for a possible free shoot!!

Starting out this post with info on Google+.  I wasn't quite sure what it was/is and kept getting asked on sites to "click" on the Google+ to share the article/post I was reading.  Then I thought is this something I need to be part of like facebook or twitter?  I am still not sure but did come across this article that makes me step back and say no ~

A couple of  Fridays ago I posted about St. John USVI and Jost Van Dyke BVI.  This video is filmed in that area and is a great summer song!

Arianna Lucia

She arrived 10 days before her shoot and truly is as

beautiful as her name.

Mom said she was normally sound asleep by then but today she was wide awake and going to stay awake
as long as possible!

  After a little wait she gave in and fell into a happy slumber. 

Every once in awhile a smile would cross her little face. 

Thank you Lisette for allowing me to "play" with & photograph your little Arianna Lucia.

And now on with the "finds"

IPhone SLR mount.  I am not sure why you wouldn't just get a dslr and lens if you are carrying this around anyway?

Mobile Me - find your iphone also works with ipad. 

I have been carrying my ipad more and more lately and love this app.  Please don't ever let me leave it somewhere but if I do at least this might help find it.

Get your vacation fix with a peak at a tropical webcam. 

This one is located on St. John Spice building and views

the Ferry dock, St. John, USVI. 

I pop in here to look for my mom or Paul as they are coming and going.  (their sailboat is moored to the right of the building) and they often ride the ferry over to St. Thomas.

This next one is from the Soggy Dollar Bar over on Jost Van Dyke, BVI - a great place to hang, swim and snorkel!
