A blog about food, wine, photography, travel, tech, pop culture, and social media...with a little geek thrown in for flavor.

I love to cook, collect and try new recipes. I'm always in search of the perfect meal, the perfect glass of wine, the perfect cup of coffee. Some people eat to live...but I live to eat.

 

The Observer papers, it must be said, can be a great resource for visual artists–if you use them. Jim O’Bryan’s citizen journalism empire has expanded far beyond its Lakewood birthplace and now has franchises in Cleveland Heights, Collinwood, Euclid, Bay Village, and elsewhere. If you are trying to promote your local art show and fail to submit an article to the Observer paper that serves your community you have missed a what has become a rare opportunity in Cleveland–the chance to tell your story in print. All you have to do is meet the deadline. If you don’t have a friend like Francis to do the writing and photography for you, just do it yourself.

Use Instagram? Print Your Photos on Canvas with CanvasPop!

As a Photographer, and avid Social Media user, I LOVE Instagram. It’s a great way to take photos with your iPhone, add a creative twist to them, and share them with the world. I’ve found so many gorgeous and inspirational photos on Instagram.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably been looking for a way to get your Instagram photos printed beautifully, to hang on your wall. CanvasPop is a great way to get your Instagram shots printed on canvas, turning them into beautifully crafted works of art.

Currently CanvasPop has an introductory offer: For a limited time, $29.95 will get an Instagram photo printed on a 12”x12” framed canvas, ready for hanging on your wall. Normally $80, this is an absolute steal. Even sweeter is that an order of $80 or more will get you $30 off!

Photo Letter Art!

This is a pretty cool concept. Spell out names, phrases, etc., using photographs of objects that resemble letters. Great for Christmas gifts!

If you’re in Cleveland, they have a kiosk set up through Dec. 30th at Great Northern Mall, near Macy’s.
