2.30.2010 Sustainable Projects Are Alive and Well in Haiti!

Most you know I am in the process of going freelance, this is a scary and daunting process. I spend a good chunk of my week doing the business side of things, I guess this is what happens when shooting photos is your pleasure! Isn't there some saying about business and pleasure, I guess I'll take the risk!

Today I spent some time doing research on sustainable projects in Haiti! My goal is to do at least three project prior to leaving in June. I was thrilled to find out that there are some people out there who not only realize that this country is in need of some sustainable, they are really doing something about it!

Those of you still considering making donations should consider these non-profits, Haiti needs industry that they can carry on with depleting their already limited resources.

2.26.2010 Crystaline Randazzo Photography Website is LIVE!!!

Well, I have needed to update my website for months, probably over a year. But lets face it I hate web design. Truthfully,  I like the design part, but hate the web logistics. However, I discovered the tool that I really think that all photographers should know about it's a website design tool that is namely focused on helping creatives get their websites up and running. It is incredibly simple and  flexible, which was one of my main priorities. It allows you to control personalized design elements, whereas many templates don't. I truly wanted a website that I would have no problem updating, I found out the hard way that if it isn't, I don't update it. You should check out Big Black Bag!
