I've been working in or closely with the photography industry for several years now, and I've observed how women can be stereotyped. We're "moms with a camera", we're weak, we don't know our cameras, we need our spouse's permission for everything we purchase, we don't know how to run a business, blah blah blah. Give me a break. In photography and many other industries, women have to work harder to be taken seriously.

Valentine’s Day Treats – Sweetheart Floats
Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that I've never made a big deal out of, but as it gets more and more commercialized, it's getting harder to ignore. And why would I want to?
