As most of you know, I am a total Polyvore junkie.  I LOVE making inspiration boards for just about everything.  My love affair with Polyvore started when I was building character sketches for my novel.  I want to really know my characters, as if they are real, so I decided I needed to figure out what made them tick.  Just a little collage to give me insight into their world so that as I was writing about them, I could reference my character sketch and know all of the things they liked and disliked, hoped and feared, without having to come up with it on a whim.

I decided it would be fun to make my own character sketch on me- just so you could all get to know me a little better.  Some of the things that inspire my photography, really have nothing to do with photography at all.  Just so you know, I actually have one of these on my site, too- again, simply because I am highly addicted to making these.  :)  I’ve even made them for shoots.  I have also referred some of my friends and colleagues to take advantage of this free tool, because it really is quite resourceful.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy these 14 things that make me tick.  :)
