My family and I arrived in beautiful Sydney, Australia on November 2nd. That - and the 26-hour trip to Australia - kicked off quite an adventure, which included a couple weeks in Sydney, visits to surrounding beaches, a long and gorgeous drive south through the country to Melbourne, Australia, a quick jet up to Brisbane and, finally, a very recent departure, nearly one month later, to New Zealand. That long and gorgeous drive? We were told it was 4 1/2 hours from Sydney t

Thanks for tuning into the second part of our interview with iconic portrait artist Art Streiber. We continue our chat as he tells us his greatest limitation is the time he actually gets to work with his high profile subjects, and how focusing too much during a shoot can actually make you lose the perfect shot. Also, a question from my fairly obsessed young daughter - what was it like to work with Justin Bieber? About Art Streiber Since 1994, Art Streiber has been a Los Ang

I had the great pleasure of joining hosts Catherine Hall and Leo Laporte on This Week in Technology, more commonly known as TWiT. On their TWiT Photo Show, we chatted about children's phtography, gear, technical settings and the wonder of connection. The show aired live around 4:45pm, running a bit late due to Apple's big announcement about the iPhone 4S. In case you missed it, you can download the show here - or just watch it directly on youTube here. I am (very kindly)

There's just no way I could pull together all the thoughts, emotions and experiences from this second experience teaching at creativeLIVE, so I'll just say this: I'm ridiculously grateful to be associated with such a cool organization. I'm overwhelmed at how many people from all over the world tuned in, actively participated, offered unreal support to everyone involved and were kind enough to offer fantastic feedback after the Taking Care of Business workshop. Okay, whew.

Hi - Tamara here. I happily just got a chance to catch up on refreshing my galleries with some of my most recent photography work of the last few months. I am loving seeing all the new photographs up there - it can be rather challenging to keep up with showing your most current work, regardless of what you do. In fact, my daughter just reminded me to update our art wall at home with the newer projects they've done. So ... that's next. I hope you have an opportunity to ch
