My Lovely Wife In Her Kimono

Well, it’s not her Kimono. These things can run into the tens of thousands of dollars (for the good ones). The occasion was her brother’s wedding, so all the girls decided to get Kimonos and do something more traditional.

The wedding was fun, even though I usually had no idea what anyone was saying. My Japanese is improving, but it’s nearly impossible to learn when I work as much as I do. Even doing these blog posts can be challenging. But I do have some exciting news. I have completed two Lightroom Preset collections that I’ll sell on this site very soon. One is my ‘Everyday Collection’ for my landscapes and HDR photography, and the other is my ‘Retro Collection,’ which gives more of that fun iPhone Photography look flooding Facebook and Twitter. I used one of the Retro Collection presets for this photo, which was then modified. I find presets help me get my looks and color correction started. It’s nice to quickly go through and get some color inspiration rather than building all the looks by hand each time. I should have them available this week, and hopefully, I will have some tutorials next week, as I keep promising.
