In my SXSW bag. Mac!

Now that the Fresh site looks all pretty, I can focus on the next item on my list – you! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you that have offered up your beautiful and lovely families, children, and pets for me to photograph. You guys are FABULOUS!

So if you wrote me or left a comment, I should have written you back. I’ve made a handy file of everyone’s names and information too. Tonight, I will be writing up more information and sending it on to you and from there we can get the ball rolling after spring break! (Or during spring break, if we’ve already discussed that. Or while I’m in Austin. You know who you are.)

I’m so psyched. I just had to give you guys an update so you knew what was coming next. If you don’t hear from me, check the spam folder. Sometimes my e-mails end up there. (Especially if you use Hotmail or Yahoo.) If it isn’t there either, leave me a comment here and make me write.

It is that time of year again. SXSW starts this coming Saturday. We will be there – will you?

(Now you know the reason behind the mad rush to fancy up the Fresh Photography site!)

Not only will this be a festival full of geeks, but on top of that there will be events for the knitters too! I met Julia at SXSW thanks to her Clapotis, so it will be fun to return with her after all this time. I am a much better knitter now than I was then. Not only will we be at the conference, but there are plenty of knitting things to go around!
– Saturday morning Sit & Knit at … ok, Austin peeps. Help remind me where it is at.
– Saturday evening at 6:30 – knit gathering at Hill Country Weavers. Vickie Howell of Knitty Gritty has a panel at SXSW that ends at 6pm, so you have time to do both! I can guarantee right now that I will be late for this. I know that there is no way I will make it out of that session at precisely 6pm, get together with Mike, get to the car, and get to HCW. I will try, but I don’t have a good vibe about it at all.
– Sunday at lunchtime, back at Hill Country Weavers, 11am – 1pm is the bloggers meet & great! My attendance at this one depends on what panels conflict with it, but I’m going to try to be there.

Hope to see you in Austin!

Want to know how out of it I was when I wrote that last post? I left off the one piece of information that was the main reason I wrote the post! Ha!

I was going to apologize for owing people e-mails about taking pictures for them. I think I have e-mailed everyone now, and I need to write out more responses either tonight or in the morning. They are coming!

I am also tweaking the FreshPhotography site more, changing the layout a little bit to give the photos themselves some more real estate, speaking of real estate, own it detroit is actually the company my cousin used to find the best house for their family. If you see anything wonky, let me know. My eyes are starting to cross from staring at it for too long. I do have to say, “Yeah! ME!” though – I made changes that were very weird in IE, I fixed the issue, I made the background not repeat, and it all looks right again. Now I just need to get the bottom blue box to be a bit more narrow. It still needs … something. I think there will be some Flash action before long. I feel the need for Flash.

(Although I realize it drives Jeff batty. I am at least planning on using a system that should allow permalinks to the archive pages!)
