I think we all stop in our track when we see a picture that just speaks to us. It could be one single thing or part of a room, but there is something about it that just says stunning – chic – amazing. Now those in the know call them “Glamour Shots”.

Ok, now I need to learn how to stage some of my shots so I can take better pictures. I’ve been trying, but I really have a long way to go. Here are two attempts
