On Flickr I am, Cosi!
On Instagram I am, Cosibella
I have been very bad at up keeping my blog cosibellaphotography.blogspot.
First let me explain Cosi, it's Italian for "thereby · so · thus · that way · this way · like so · like that · like this · such ·this · in this way"
- I chose it for my flickr name years ago because there were so many
ways of photography for me to learn when I first joined. I studied many
different photographers' styles and techniques. Armed with my point and
shoot when I entered the digital era, I tried new techniques, like
adding textures, making my own textures, shooting throughout the lens of
another camera (Ttv), blurry shots, and experimenting with every
function I could teach myself in Photoshop Elements!
People
would say my photos were "so beautiful" and pretty soon people were
asking me to photograph families, events, and seniors. I wanted a name
for a business I could build. I also wanted it to have an Italian ring
to it in memory of my Dad. So I picked Cosi Bella, so beautiful!
All
that to say I am still building a business that I can hopefully grow
bigger, when I am done home schooling my youngest who is in 6th grade,
I've been doing it since his brother was in kindergarten. What a
blessing it has been to have been home with them all these years,
watching then grow, and teaching them at home! It also afforded me the
opportunity to "get back into" photography, I started when I was 14 -
yes, film, darkrooms, jobs managing photo labs and selling cameras all
before kids.
