<p>Together with Laura Doth of <a href="http://www.grindstonegraphics.com/" target="_blank">Grindstone Graphics</a> we produced stock images for use by the <a href="http://www.nmwine.com/" target="_blank">New Mexico Wine Growers Association</a>. The concept was to feature bottles of wine with generic NM wine labels in a setting that incorporates the flavor of New Mexico. Now all of the associate New Mexican wine growers have beautiful images to use at their disposal for promotion and marketing. I love doing table top studio photography, and one of the benefits of this shoot was the wonderful wine I had to drink following the shoot.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Belle Magazine Editorial Shoot</title><id>http://www.j-ramirez.com/recentprojects/2010/6/18/belle-magazine-editorial-shoot.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.j-ramirez.com/recentprojects/2010/6/18/belle-magazine-editorial-shoot.html"/><author><name>jramirez</name></author><published>2010-06-19T00:00:17Z</published><updated>2010-06-19T00:00:17Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.j-ramirez.com/storage/blog-images/2010_06_09%20Belle%20Table%20Top.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1276905632779" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p>Upon the urgings of a friend I took the $150 1.5 hour long Adobe Certified Expert Exam for Photoshop yesterday. Being that I not only live in the world of Adobe Photoshop - as I work with it daily as a professional photographer, but also that I teach both Intro to Photoshop and Advanced Photoshop I thought I would have a good chance of success without studying or preparing - just like the old days of college. &nbsp;Well with success, I am now an A.C.E., an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop!</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Belle Magazine Cover Shoot - June</title><id>http://www.j-ramirez.com/recentprojects/2010/5/28/belle-magazine-cover-shoot-june.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.j-ramirez.com/recentprojects/2010/5/28/belle-magazine-cover-shoot-june.html"/><author><name>jramirez</name></author><published>2010-05-28T19:16:52Z</published><updated>2010-05-28T19:16:52Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
