Triple Points starts today. If you understand what this means then odds are you are a bit addicted to Nordstrom like me. I’ve lost thousands of miles & points over the years because I’ve needed to feed my shoe addiction in person (they have shoes for my big size 11 feet). […]
I always knew my new camera was smarter than me, today at the National Geographic (NatGeo) Traveler Photography Seminar on Light and Color, I learned why. Today’s session was held in Philadelphia and was complimentary as the previous seminar I attended on The Art of Nature was mired with technical […]
