Hmm – Well I goofed up the image for the Ace of Hearts, not exactly sure what happened there, but you get the idea [NOTE – somehow the move from WordPress.com fixed the image for the Ace, cool!] – now on to the translation: Interpretation of the cards: Hearts Ace of Hearts [ Group: The Unforeseen ] This card represents the home, the couple, or the family. In addition, it declares new loves or strong relations in the future. The Letter Z Represents: Organization, Power, Inspiration Floral Arrangement: Emerging rosebud, banana, boxwood … Continue reading

Ok, sorry for not posting for nearly a month, but I’ve been busy trying to re-do my website and set up a new YouTube account, trying to get more translation done on the Grand Lenormand, and of course the regular day-to-day stuff, like work 😛 Anyways, I hope to have this blog moved over to my permanent domain/website sometime this week, and shortly after that I should have my next segment in the Grand Lenormand translation completed (the first four cards from the suit of Hearts). I’ve also been very … Continue reading

Since I’m new to this, I was pretty sure I was going to get denied again. Mainly because I don’t shoot what they “need.” What they need/want is people – people doing anything. Well, I generally don’t like people – that’s the whole reason my career path is IT. I love helping people solve problems and I love teaching people new things, but I hate social situations and I despise “directing” or managing people. So, as a photographer, I’ve always concentrated on landscape, architecture, gardens, and pets. Stuff that microstock houses … Continue reading
