Rose Rossetti's photostream  

Fact is our neurons get stimulated by colors whether we want or not (is it a good thing?) Some photographers are obsessed with dynamic color ranges while some like quite the opposite or have a passion for black and white. If you're a color photographer, you might want to check out an upcoming photography competition - Photography Masters Cup at www.thecolorawards.com. I think the first prize is a 250GTO Ferrari...just kidding;D. I am not a competitive photographer, so I won't be in but do have fun if you plan to.

Have a good weekend, my friends.

Hello my friends,

It is finally Friday although I have no plans for tonight. I received a David Rocco-signed-cookbook for my birthday recently, so maybe I'll see if there's something I want to try making later today or if I am feeling tardy, then I'll likely just read instead of playing in the kitchen.

On another note, I am hemming my blessings for the great friends that I have made here. Thank you, Richard, for the encouraging testimonial.

Wishing everyone an awesome weekend!

Hello All My Friends,

I haven't disappeared from mother Earth yet...just in case you're wondering where I am.
It's the same old story called WORK. Oh well, here's the last wedding shot I am uploading because this is a special one and I owe it to my friend Chris as this is done with his f/2 135mm lens. Yes, shot wide open. Great lens & thanks again for lending it to me. I know I owe you too many things...

Weekend's coming up soon. Hope the beautiful weather stays. Enjoy yours!

I recently had an excellent bread pudding in Seattle and it made me think of my dad. Dad was a great supporter of my baking. From the famous British rock cakes that I learnt to make at my high school in those early years to the more refined brioche bread pudding of late, he savoured and complimented on all of my endeavors. Over the years, I catered to his preference and skipped the cinnamon spice on all kinds of baking. The very last time I made bread pudding for him was on his birthday in 2008. I made it again today because I miss bringing him my goodies.

Happy Birthday, Dad. Hope you know that we all miss you lots.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all:D

Thank you so much for the emails and messages of holiday wishes. I got them all! Apologies for my long absence here. Like everyone else, I have been caught up with work & holiday celebrations but here's wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and New Year's!
