While doing some research on the web on Adobe Lightroom, I came across a site from Adobe that is called Adobe TV.  The site actually has videos that show you how to use the Adobe programs.  I was amazed at all the helpful information that they have for viewers and what is even better is that it is all free.  I studied up on Adobe Lightroom and have been playing with the program to familiarize myself with the program.  I was amazed how Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop work hand in hand together to automate photos.  I even learned how catalogs work.  If you want to learn more or share your experience with Adobe TV then please do so.

I was driving to work on Tuesday morning and was coming up to a huge cloud.  I pulled over and photographed it.  The storm wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be but it started raining pretty good as I finished driving through the dark side of the storm.  It is pretty cool being able to enjoy the scenery on my way to work.

Seniors, don’t forget to get your Senior Portraits taken.  If you are interested please give me a call at (559) 933-7355 or contact me via email.  We took this photo of these two girls over by the rodeo grounds.  The colors were perfect in the background.  

Senior Portraits are available anytime at Perez Studios.  We can come to you or you can come to us.  Anyplace you want to take your portraits is fine by us.

I photographed this crop duster getting loaded by a loader on my way home from work yesterday.  This is probably one of the weirdest things that this airport has no security what’s so ever.  You could practically walk right up to a plane and take off if you knew how to fly one.  I remember working for this one company in my hometown after I got out of the Marines.  I was hired as an Assistant Mechanic and they had us out there working in the heat as loaders loading rice into the plane.  Very interesting but something I don’t miss at all.  I worked there for about a couple of months before moving on to another place across the street selling tractor parts.  Not anything I miss either.

I was on my way to work one morning and noticed this beautiful sunrise and I had to stop and catch it.  I wish I could say I seen the sun this morning on my way to work but I didn’t.  That didn’t stop me from enjoying the beautiful morning though.  I was enjoying the beautiful mountains along with the way the fields are so green.  The sun seemed to be shining over the clouds above me because I could see the way it was shining on the mountains on the west.  Very amazing how the eagles were out on the prowl early also.  I just loved the whole morning.  Looks like we have some sun now.

I recently stumbled upon a website that allows people to work from home doing the jobs they do best.  Elance.com has a lot of different job types available for users to work at.  From Digital Webpages to Hardware setups.  It is free for the basic user which allows you to connect with employers.  The site also has some other plans which allows you more opportunities a month to connect with employers and more skills added to your profile.  The basic plan gives you five skills that employers can view on your profile and see if you are capable of handling the job.  The site also allows you to post job openings to hire your own person for the desired job. 

I had been working on another site for side jobs and this one was mainly for computer hardware repairs which I have been doing a lot lately.  I have been turning down more jobs in the Modesto area though because the location is too far for me to drive for too little pay.  The site is Service Live and they work really great although the locations they support are farther than I would like.

I have been pretty busy lately.  From working on people’s computers that are infected with malware and viruses to working on web pages.  Not too busy with the photography stuff and I kind of miss it.  The family and I got a chance to drive down to Los Angeles this weekend and attend a church convention in Torrance, CA.  We drove down Saturday night and got up early Sunday morning and headed for the convention.  I must say the Los Angeles group “Iglesia Apostolica de la fe en Cristo Jesus” is huge.  There were a lot of members there.  I actually witnessed three new pastors get sworn in.  It was amazing.  We left the convention and drove home.  I love the Los Angeles weather.  As soon as we got on this side of the Grapevine it was back to heavy jackets and warmer clothes.  I cant wait to move down to Southern California.

One of the pastors was actually the pastor of the church in Palm Springs.  I thought it would be great to introduce myself but I didn’t get a chance to.  Maybe next time.

I have also been working with the Mendota Pentecostal Church of God to build a website for them.  It has been going good so far.  I am working with them tonight to finish up the touches and give them the reigns to take over their page.  The page is just up with a normal WordPress theme but we are hoping to get that changed tonight.  Check the site out and let me know what you think.
