DND Hair Studio

Hello everyone.  Here are a few images from photo shoot for Natalia that took place last week.

Mean while, I just remembered story about Natalia.  Several month ago, Natalia asked us (Oksana and me) to create a Wedding album for her.   Natalia and Dima had a traditional album; but she also wanted a Flush mount one.   Because they had photos on DVD, we made a design.

When we were ordering album she came to my office and said:
N:  OK I’m ready to order; what’s the biggest size of album I can order?
A:  I was like “What!?? Why do you need the biggest size?”
N:  ”Why can’t I ask what’s the biggest album size you have?” I’m a client as well, remember….?
A:  ”So, I looked in an order form and it was 12×32 inches on full spread.. and Natalia said: Perfect. let’s do that but is that the biggest one?
After confirmation she gave me money and ran to her appt.   Took her 5 minutes to decide.

So that’s Natasha.

Here is the same image.. I decided to put it on my desktop for a day.

Switched to Mac :-)

Good afternoon everyone.  Just wanted to put a little update.   Soon I’ll start posting on Blog again.  I was pretty busy swiching to new computer system for the last week..  YES I switched to MAC.

Valera and I tested computers a lot.  One time, we were in Apple store and started to play with Mac and it didn’t have Elements nor Photoshop.  I said to Val: “too bad that we didn’t take our own photoshop to install, than Val looked over a girl who was checking My Space on iMac next to us and said: “Oh, her internet works and our doesn’t;  I’ll be right back.  
I still didn’t understand what he was doing.  
Turns out, he realized in split of a second that if Internet works in store computers it means we can get Photoshop for 30 days trial right over internet from Adobe.  
    

So after long tests, I finally purchased Mac.  We have network between our computers.  Network means we can transfer files between computers via network.  
Also, I have a print server; so when my printer down stairs is low on INK I just send a file to print upstairs to Oksana’s printer and ask my son to ran upstairs and get my papers:)

Network is convenient; but can be lots of headache to set it up.  Finally, all computers see each other on network.  I have XP Pro, Vista 64 bit and Leopard 10.5 and with all firewalls it took me a while to configure everything out.  

 

Anyway I’m back behind computer.
