Mystic Women of Salem

Hello everyone!

I am only a couple of days away from beginning a much needed and long overdue vacation. Even though the campus is closed during Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, you can bet that I was here in the photo lab working the entire time. It is a running joke between the professors' that I secretly have a cot stashed somewhere and that I really live here. But, I do not...just VERY, VERY dedicated and driven. I think it is fair to say that the MWS project has literally consumed my life, school gets in the way, home gets in the way, and every other facet of my life seems to take a back seat to the project. This is a HUGE undertaking and I want you all to know that the Team and I are working very hard to produce a book that is beautiful, elegant, historical, literary, and one that you all will be very proud of.

The cyber wizard is on vacay the month of June, however, William, Brian, and myself will be getting together next week for a business/social dinner. Brian has some fabulous ideas and plans for the posters/pr material for our upcoming media campaign in October, 2011. Those ideas and visuals will be discussed and future areas of promotion will be included in the discussion as well. Legal issues (copyrights, domains etc.) are being discussed and will be addressed over the next few weeks.

The Project Manager, William, is arriving in Salem next week and we will be stopping by most of the shoppes/businesses owned by the MWS ladies to say hello and to touch base with everyone possible. I am sending out the interview schedule dates today to possible featured MWS ladies which will be happening in July, 2011. Summer shooting begins in July as well...so make sure you have your story drafts ready (MWS ladies) ! Jac's is a wonderful example for all of the featured women and I think William is sending that to them today. This should help...not to stress the Project Manager is on the way!

Yesterday I attended a RAW workshop with one of my professor's from the University, and now I have lots more majickal tricks at my fingertips than ever before! Constantly learning and adding to my expertise as a "Mystic Photographer". There were photographers from all over the states in attendance. We learned very advanced re-touching techniques using the latest version of LightRoom as well as some REALLY majickal special effects. CAN'T wait for the University to get our upgraded version of LightRoom!!

Enjoy the beautiful weather here in New England! Get some plants in the ground, feed the little birds and animals, enjoy the sights, smells, and visuals of summer here in one of the most majickal places on earth...Salem!
