Something that Don and I will be sharing more of either here on the blog or at I.E. 2012. But more on that later.

For now, have a scope through the NEW LAYOUT of the blog. There are a few NEW Catalogs that you should pay attention to.

A Review of Past ...

I just stumbled upon my archives tonight as I was updating the NEW I.E. BLOG.

And as I started to view these awesome images, it literally awakened an idea I had in my heart for IE a few years ago and some how got lost.

The idea was to feature our view own photographers from IE and images that they are creating and capturing.

So if you might be interested in being featured on our NEW IE BLOG, stay tuned as I will be releasing details on how you can submit your story and portfolio for an IE Exclusive.

But for now, enjoy these images and hope it inspires you to create !
