I'll admit it - I'm a professional photographer wanna be.  I'm waiting until the day I burn out and crash from interior design to throw myself into a new career direction.  For now, I sit back and admire the talents of professional photographers and dream of ways to utilize the fruits of their labor.Take for example, Oana Hogrefe, the fantastic photographer who quietly floated thru our Kandrac & Kole Splendid Spring Celebration party this weekend capturing images of our clients, colleagues and friends socializing.

My creative mind spins with all the ways to use the images born from her lens.

Now while I might not be a trained professional, I can take some pretty good photos.  I have boxes full  (pre digital era) that I could put up on the wall under plexi glass like this:

Or maybe just jazz up a mantle in a simple but meaningful way...

Or maybe a gallery in not so common sizes.....

Thanks Oana for the inspiration this week!
